Isn't it a bit of an oversimplification to say H.264 is universally better than .flv? Because I've seen situations where .flv is both better quality AND smaller file size than H.264 (using the same parameters). For example, some of the videos I post are filmed from the back of a moving

My 2 tips for promoting h264 format are: Have it playable via a flash player embedded in the page, so users dont even need to know its an mp4 (others have already discussed this) Dont make the h264 file a .mov or a .m4v or a .f4v. Make it a .mp4 because this has the widest sounding

Its both, the codec and the encoder and settings. h264 isnt perfect, but a better h264 encoder could give a better result for your scenario. Likewise when Apple first started promoting h264, some people who had ben using older mpeg4 were not blown away, because they had been using a really

great posts, mr elbows. i agree about naming files .mp4 rather than mov or m4v. yeah, i was very happy with 3ivx so it took me a while to get excited about h264 for videoblogging. Looking back at my posts from 2005 recently, I saw that I seemed to get insanely low file sizes with 3ivx.

Cheers :) Apart from how good/efficient the formats you used to use were, there are a couple of other reasons for what you've noticed: People were more conservative about filesizes in the past, you could force h264 to use a lower bitrate and get results that are smaller without too much loss

I haven't done this in a while: http://michaelverdi.com/h264/ Here's one video encoded at 4 different sizes bit-rate combinations. The point is that you can make videos any size you want by limiting the bit-rate and other parameters. H.264 is particularly nice in that it's really efficient, i.e.

do you mean when you also turn auto keyframes on in QuickTime rather than manual keyframes you get better and smaller using flv? Or are you comparing auto keyframes to manual keyframes? On 01/04/2009, at 6:06 AM, quietleader wrote: For example, some of the videos I post are filmed from the
