Is adobe media encoder cs4 good for encoding a two minute avi clip to FLV, which can play on the default JW player? I'm running out of options to get it to fit perfectly.
Can someone guide me to step by step instructions how to encode a video for the JW Player?

I want it to fill the player. The video is 320 by 240 and the player is 300 by 200.
'player', '400', '300', '9'
Video 320 x 240
Are you using a standard player with a controbar at the bottom?
If yes, then your player should be 400x320 to allow for the 20px of the controlbar.
If you use a skin, the controlbar may be 30~50px. You will have to measure it and allow for the extra height.
I am using a Snell skin. No matter how often I resize the video, I keep getting it in letter box. The original AVI is on youtube without black bars. What size should my video be encoded to in order to fit a medium size player? Not massive and not too small. I can accommodate any size on the page.
To get your video to exactly fill the player's displayarea, without stretching, cropping, letter-boxing, or pillar-boxing, you must size the displayarea to the same aspect ratio as the video file.
The snel skin has a controlbar height of 30px, which you must always add to the displayarea height to get the total height.
If the video's native size is 320x240, the player should be 320x270
If the video's native size is 640x480, the player should be 640x510.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I am still getting letter-boxing.
You will have to post a link to your Test Page so someone can help you further.
iWisoft Free Video Converter can convert AVI to FLV easily. And it is freeware.
You may use Nidesoft AVI Converter.It converts AVI movie to many other video and audio.
So interesting,but i prefer use Video to Flash Converter Pro.It's prog can convert many different formats.I like it.
I tried all kinds of ways to do this now and still my video is coming out too small.
