Chapter 12. Video > Encoding

12.1. Encoding


Note:

The correct terminology is to say that the title element is nested within the head element. We’ll talk about nesting more in later chapters.


Before you can control video with ActionScript, you need to encode video source material into a format that’s compatible with Flash Player. Encoding is a big topic that entails finding a sometimes complex balance between quality, video dimensions, and file size. As we are focusing on ActionScript, any in-depth discussion of encoding subtleties is beyond the scope of this book, but we’ll show you how to create a video that’s compatible with Flash Player.
