Video to web conversion ?

Hi,

What do you guys use to convert videos either to compress divx/xvid for which I have used auto guardian knot which is ok.

But what about creating a web video album or how to convert your videos to flash(like youtube and google video) so that they can be viewed online.

Many thanks in advance.

Still not sure whats the best way to do this....

But I have got some great results :

What I have done so far is to convert videos to flv(riva flv) and play them with this :

http://flowplayer.sourceforge.net/

Streaming of the file is done using a PHP script and so far so good.

Weakest link is 'flow player' which seems to like firefox but not IE.

Here are some results :

The player has 2 files in its playlist the first what you see first as soon as you hit this page is the very low quality and low sound version (300kbps) the next in the playlist is the HI qual version which streams at 1.4mbps (I'm uploading that at the moment and will be on the site in 20 mins)

Anyone care to take a looksie ?

Cheers
