When Flash first incorporated video in version 6, they chose the “Spark” Sorenson 3 codec. A good choice, that was the best encoding quality at that time. In the following years, several companies developed encoding algorithms that were clearly higher quality.
Flash 8 then added the On2 VP6 codec, which again delivered higher quality at lower bandwidth.
Because of so many viewers had the Flash plugin, a couple years ago web video encoders found they could encode video into Flash rather than the triplicate of the past (Windows Media, Real, Quicktime).
But with the release of the H.264 standard there was still one …
This answer from Frank Datzer at Allied Vaughn:
DVD duplication is done by using towers of burners to duplicate large amounts of DVDs at a time. This produces exact copies or DVD-Rs of your original. Replication actually uses a glass master to “stamp” new DVDs. This method dramatically lowers the price per unit at high volumes — 1000 DVD will run about $1.25 each from a DVD-R master.
This includes all glass mastering fees and 5 color silk screening on the disc (5th color is a white background or “flood” coat.

The HV20 HDV Camcorder is causing quite a stir, due to its unprecedented image quality. Never before has there been this feature set for under $1000.
The top points:
true 1920 X 1080 chip - beautiful, sharp image quality

After Effects is the software from whence a new art form, motion graphics, was born.
Motion offers many advantages and disadvantages to AE. The two can work together, AE users can use Motion to generate layers for their AE compositions.
Owners of both, before starting many projects, will have to pause and consider which program to use.
So when would you use Motion?
- projects involving interaction between elements (attracting, repelling, orbiting easier in Motion)
- users needing something cool-looking quickly without having to create it from scratch (because of the large library of text behaviors and textures (particle emitter presets) - LiveType also good for this
- particle
