Yes, the quality of H.264 is better (especially dual-pass) at the same
bitrate as a VP6 .flv. Also, most encoding applications will let you
limit the bitrate to whatever you want. Want 512kbps? Just set it to
512.
Here's a recent video I did encoded at 732kbps (including 128kbps
audio). It's 640x360, 24fps.

The cool thing is that it plays in a flash player on the site, works
on an iPod/iPhone and is just one file.
