Use the search. There are some topics about this.

Most of the posts around here completely confuse me... I have searched, but I'm still confused. I'm just looking for a VFW codec that I can use with VirtualDubMod the same way I use Sharktooth's x264 VFW. As well... I'm looking for a high quality FLV encoding that is comparable to my x264 encodes... not something low quality like Youtube.

Ah... so the mp4 container wont play in flash video like youtube?

Sweet... so what can I use to encode my videos into h264 mp4/flv? When I searched, I saw all this "VP6/7" stuff... and that confused me.

Jaxel, you posted in the wrong forum and didnt use search :readrule::search: striked and moved

So umm... anyone know of any good FLV encoders that work with VirtualDubMod? doesnt have to be h264.

FLV is a container, not a codec. AFAIK, there's no way to save into FLV from a VfW app. Just so you know though, FLV typically contains H.263 video (stuff from YouTube is Sorenson H.263) and MP3 audio. Using Google, I'm sure one could find a good VfW H.263 enccoder. Wait, actually, ffdshow has such a function. You'd just need to mux into FLV outside of VirtualDubMod. mencoder can mux into FLV I think...

Avidemux can create FLV files. If you want to use H.264 video then you must totally forget about FLV (which can only contain H.263/Sorenson or VP6 video) and create a MP4 file (that contains H.264 video and AAC audio).

When I was playing around flash h.264, I was amazed at the speed comparison to VP6. When encoding to VP6, it only utilized a single core in my quad core machine as opposed to h.264 using most of the capacity of all 4 cores. You can use some really insane x264 settings and still come out quite far ahead in encoding time.

jaxel, if your mkvs are h.264 + aac then you don't need to reencode, just remux to mp4 container - edit: i just checked it with avidemux on your mkv: video set to copy, audio to reencode to aac, container mp4 - plays fine with flash9. --- if you want flv (vp6) then check shodan's page; (commercial solutions for vp6 would be adobe media encoder, flix and more i guess...)
