Best current flash compressor

[Jonas Nyström]

Hi!

Going online soon with new material. Do you guys have any thought or suggestions; which is the best (current) flash compressor. I usally use ON2 Flix Pro or Adobes Flash CS3 Encoder. Trying to get the best result with 800x450 px about 45 sec to one minute length.

What is your choice?

The On2 VP6 codec is the newer, better flash encode option that is available within most flash encoding apps, including Adobe's Flash Video encoder, which I find works great and the data rate is fully customizable. However I have found that this software doesn't always play nice with some websites using scripting to control flash elements, in which case Sorenson Squeeze has not given me the same issues, for reasons unknown to me. Squeeze also makes great looking FLV files.

on my tests flix had more detail and clarity at the same kbits/sec

For a mac is ffmpegx. Id actualy use mpeg4 though using one of the two H264 algorithms. They are slightly Different depending on the source codec.
