Hi there,

I’m hoping someone might be able to offer some advice on converting an HDV file into flv at the best possible quality. This is for a kiosk thing running directly from the hard-drive - so I don’t care how big the file ends up. I’ve noticed that if I set the bandwidth to 9999 and keyframe to every frame in the flash encoder, then I get a large but very good quality looking flv - unfortunately though this seems to mess with the synch which ends up slightly out, and the playback seems a little jerky too. If I leave the keyframes on automatic I get a small, smooth and in synch file - but the quality is no where near as good.

Is there any way of getting a ‘lossless’ flv without it being jerky and out of synch?

Many thanks,

Sam.
