Is there something else I should be using instead of the Flash 8 Video Encoder which is really slow, about 6:1 ratio?

Or is this program taking so long to ensure it gives a really good clean .flv?

btw, i’m doing .avi (average 700mb) to .flv at 400kbs (flash 8 medium quality).

(I’m trying to convert my entire library to .flv btw for various reasons, so anything thats faster would be nice).
