My parents gave me a Flip HD for Christmas! This camera will be really nice to document the work that I’ll be doing during my Peace Corps Service. It will be hard to communicate with my family and friends, but with this I hope to be able to share some of my experiences. The following little snippet of video is the only thing I have shot with the Flip HD so far. I have been busy trying to figure out ways to encode the files so that they can be more manageable with a slow internet connection, and very little electricity. Small files are a must, and I also wanted to make sure they can be viewed easily by most internet connections. So far I am really excited about the way the camera is working.

I would like to find a faster way to encode .MP4 to .FLV. I am currently using Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder, which does a decent job, but I would like it to process files faster and/or be able to do two-pass encoding for a better looking video. I have heard Sorenson Squeeze will do the job, but I am not willing to pay $499 for a program simply to convert a .FLV file. How does it look on your CPU? Any suggestions?
