I downloaded Flowplayer and it looks really cool, especially the long
play version. Unfortunately, I wont be able to get switch for this
project mainly because I don't have the time to switch and finish
this on the schedule I have. And I've already learned (to a degree)
the compression tools I'm using. I've never used ffmpeg and am sure
it isn't that hard, but I've got tailor made compression files for
this type of video and I believe H264 is a really good codec. The
original source files average 1.5 Gig. I have no idea how flash
video does, but getting them as low as 300 MB and still having the
text readable is pretty good in my book.
And actually I should correct myself. I believe VLC will play the
movies and VLC is available on Linux and Windows.
And I'm really glad to know about Flowplayer and will look into it
because it is cool and have been interested in flash players (I
recently figured out how to download YouTube vids and need players...).
