[flashpro] Best practice for creating FLV video files

[elusive]

the target group of my work is the dumbest crowd you could emagine.  
even if you ask em to choose between the DSL or the MODEM version  
they wont know what to choose because they dont know the difference.
So upgrading to a new player - even though its free - is a major  
decision for them. Thats why we decided about a month ago to finally  
switch UP to flash 7 player! in about a year we're going to start  
thinking about flash 8.

my two cents
