[flashpro] Best practice for creating FLV video files

[eric choisy]

I'm not really convinced by netStream netconnection without a flash  
server....
it work if you don't need a player with progress bar.
i've tested for a client and had problems with end  detection, length  
of film etc, etc...
yes it's cool for flash weight, only 10 Ko for code and video object  
but not for advance feature.
the MediaDisplay component add more class and event but the dark side  
is the weight 100Ko just for playing video... :(

Stephen for your question about flash 7 video..
you need mediaDisplay (only the video) or mediaPlayBack component  
(with a "remote" play,stop, rewind,,,).
it work only with sorenson video encoding

I recommand you an article about video encoding flash "on2 vs sorenson"

hope this help
