Above is an example of a video first authored in QuickTime, then converted to ‘Raw Flash’ .FLV format. I have used this encoding approach rather than dropping a video into YouTube because it provides a much higher degree of control in the areas of image quality, frame rate, and data feed rate.

Not everyone has ultra-high speed broadband, so video content design needs to balance all factors to allow for a quality presentation to a wide viewing audience. You may notice how quickly the video loads, and this is accomplished without the need of a dedicated video streaming web server.
