    Yes, I'd like to know how to do this as well. Especially as it's no longer a Beta product. What good is a player that supports H.264 if the encoder still only has the 2 choices of Sorenson Spark and On2VP6? Can someone please explain?

    The point it, you don't encode it to FLV, you stream the mp4 or mov into the player.

    Thanks for that Trace but I'm new to Flash. How do I stream it into the player? Apologies for being a newbie!

    Cheers,

    You just need to encode your video (not flv) with QT pro or any other product that creates CLEAN mp4 files., then update your flash IDE version to 9.0.2 (you can update your software by going to help->Update)
    Ensure you've downloaded FP 9.0.115 and then follow this tutorial:

    I created an H264 video using Premiere, exporting through the Adobe Media Encoder, but the resulting .mp4 movie won't play in Flash 9. Other mp4 videos (ie. the samples that come with Flash Media Server 3) play fine in my flash file, so I'm pretty sure it's the encoding.

    Why is finding information on actually encoding videos to H264 so difficult? Even you just say "any other product that creates CLEAN mp4 files"...what does that mean? Can't we get the actual settings listed that we need to choose?

    Any information around encoding correctly for the Flash Player would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm afraid I can't help you there because I use Final Cut Studio to make my mp4s and it works beautifully. But then it would because it's a native format for QuickTime.

    One thing you might try is getting the full version of QT Pro for the PC (I assume your on a PC) and use QT to export as mp4. It's really cheap. Only £20 and well worth having. Once it's loaded on your system you should even see it in your export options straight from Premiere if I remember correctly. It's been years since I made the switch to Mac. It's worth having it as an option on your system anyway.

    Hope this helps. I followed the tutorial and everything worked just fine. Good luck.

    Thanks for the response, but I'd really like to know how to do this with Premiere, since it's a tool I already have, versus Quicktime, which I don't have and am not particularly interested in purchasing.

    Shame Adobe couldn't just put out a quick document telling us how to do this, i'm sure it is really easy if you know what you are doing (which I clearly do not).

    Hi Anthony,

    I have no idea as I am still on XP and have no desire or plans to move to Vista. I don't see any advantage from a production point of view. It gives no added value for this sort of work and can be a headache to get all the drivers you need to make these apps work properly. Lots of bells and whistles for home use but that's all as far as I can tell.

    Cheers,

    I was looking for a h264 encoder and found this:-
    http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/download.htm
    Its an excellent free encoder and you dont have to be a boffin to use it. Id recommend the 3 pass setting (Profile High,Level 4.0) at around 500kbps using FAAC audio 22k hz 64kbps.This will give you suberb quality at very small file size with decent audio to boot.(Source file should be High Quality)
    Example of this here http://meglomedia.com/groups/roxette/thecenterof.html
    The file size of this 4 minute video is around 15mb.It does other formats too but I was looking specifically for H264 and this fits the bill perfectly.
