ffmpeg codec bit rate .avi to .swf conversion chart

I am converting an .avi video to .swf with the product 'Super' not sure that even matters as much as the codec/movie frame size (display dimension) and bit rate (kbps) video/audio ratio.

The standard settings for the output .swf file are lower quality than the original .avi file played in my Windows Media Player. The challenge is to increase the quality during the conversion process by adjusting the kbps on audio and video as a ratio. I'm sure that anyone who has had to do custom conversions has had to adjust these settings to improve video quality to meet the same standards as the original video. I am new to this process and the default settings just aren't cutting it.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Thanks!

visifly is supposed to be one of the best compressors, but its commercial
you can download a trial version to see if it will do the job,
but you get the 'visifly' watermark on the output

I figured it out. I simply used an .swf player and coded the movie as .fla and streamed it to the player. This produced much better quality especially since the movie length is a bit on the long side. I would definitely recommend this method unless the server bandwith cannot handle serving the file.

I am not sure whether this encoder is a better choice for you.
