I just wanted to point out this interesting report from StreamingMedia.com :
Flash Codecs, 2006: Choosing and Using the Optimal Flash Codec
This 100 page report is for streaming media producers who need optimal quality Flash video. The report compares all Flash Codecs (VP6, Spark, Wildform) and the most significant encoding tools (Sorenson Squeeze, On2 Flix Pro, Macromedia Flash Video Encoder, AutoDesk Cleaner XL 1.5) to identify which encoding tool/codec produces the best quality video at four encoding configurations (3GPP, 100, 300 and 500 kbps) using a 38-segment test clip containing sections for business, sports, entertainment, animation and pan and zoom content.
The report also evaluates the effectiveness of noise reduction and similar quality enhancement techniques, and explains how to avoid or work around common problems experienced with the Macromedia Flash, Flix Pro and Squeeze encoders. The report concludes with a section on producing top quality streaming video, describing how to light, shoot, and edit for optimal Flash quality.
