Can someone confirm or deny this:
Flash will not encode, and will reject a video file that has an odd screen width/height.
For example, if it's 491 pixels wide, rather than 492.Is that true?

I have never had that problem.

Thanks, gents. I'll give it another go here.

OK, Sub-Question -
Confirm/Deny:
Forcing the video into another aspect ratio while encoding will screw it up. For example, you resize while while encoding the FLV. The new size with aspect ratio in tact will be 420x380. You force 421x380. Bad news, right?

Well, not really bad news, just will stretch/degrade the quality of the video. But I mean, if you are only stretching it by a pixel, I'd say just go for it, the change will hardly be noticeable at that size. Why does it need to by 1px wider anyway?

I've never had problems resizing/cropping FLVs to any size using the Flash Media Encoder.

@sleepyfatso
Thats what the client has requested, thats all i know.Somthing's up though. I am getting a mondo distorted picture by forcing that 1 pixel change. The vid started out as an MPEG, not sure if that matters.

why not use h264? i have had far fewer problems with it. better quality too. sometimes a little heavier though.

hmm, strange, send it over this way if you want me to have a look at it. Not sure if I can help, but I will give it a go if you want.

Thanks, will ping you if necessary. Waiting to see if the client wants to pay for me to muck about in a few apps for several hours to correct the issue.

I worked with a film editor that always rounded his width/height to an even number. I think it had something to do with finalcut, not the FLVs.
- Haven't even opened FCP yet. This is happening through Flash's native encoder.harlequino
