A La Carte Video Encoding
I asked in my last post if there were options for encoding Flash video in H.264 format. I was doing some research about various encoding options and came across Hey Watch.
Hey Watch is an online service that lets you encode video into a myriad of formats, including Flash H.264. What’s interesting about this web service is that each encode only costs $0.10, based on a credit system.
In early tests, I’ve been disappointed by the encoding done by Hey Watch. The audio encoding was bad and it played choppy in Quicktime Pro, VLC and a few other players. Obviously, this isn’t acceptible.
I’m rendering out a very large, very high quality file to see if that makes a difference.

We were disappointed with Hey Watch quality as well during testing for our video platform, we finally settled on encoding.com as they offered the H.264 Flash 9 codec as well as the high quality On2 VP6 E/S Flash codecs, they have a free 1GB trial so might be worth giving them a shot.
