@tom

Thanx! I am happy that you´ve posted your command. It works great for me. I am using the projekktor.com webTV player and it looks great – also in fullscreen.

here’s what i do

ffmpeg -i foo.avi -vcodec libx264 -acodec libfaac -vb 700000 -f flv bar.f4v

i’m sure its not the best, but i does ok. the 2 big plus points:

1. it uses h.264 = much better quality
2. it allows progressive download = starts playing straight away

i use the flowplayer player
