Has anyone here been playing w/ the new Flash Video Encoder included w/ Flash 8 Pro? The On2 VPC codec produces a pretty nice file. I haven't had time to test compression. This output requires the flash 8 plugin to playback. I have been having some problems with the new flvplayback component, but all-in-all...the new stuff is pretty nice. You can included cuepoints before compression, then call those points with the actionscript. They also included Alpha layers. Again..I have only been playing with it and haven't published anything.
