HTML5 video encoding

Hi Jay,

Sorry to be late to the party, but this is exactly what I do for work everyday.

I am unfortunately using Final Cut to make my .mp4's, but once I have the file, I use firefogg.org from Mozilla to convert it into an .ogv file. Firefogg will also make a webm, so you can kill all the birds with one tool. If you use the Advanced Options, you can set things like resolution, keyframes and 2-pass encoding, which will make your .ogv look MUCH better.

Give it a shot, it's a really useful tool, especially for supporting video in HTML5!

I tried the Miro encoder, but that has no controls, and has quality issues. I'm looking for a professional solution (hopefully not crazy expensive) for OSX.

That's a good question. Jonriber.

I'm not doing HTML5 at the moment, myself.  H.264 is the best quality you can get, and Firefox doesn't support it in HTML5.  So I still do the Javascript player thing to get that superior H.264 quality in Firefox.
