Thank you for the reply.

The ffmpeg encoder - is the package offered by HostOnNet.com

My concern is to do with the compression of already compressed video files being rendered to a much larger file size.

There is no access as i see it to the ffmeg flv encoder settings and WE should have this access.

Now this might be a Hosting issue or it's to do with admin access to change the configuration using the admin tools provided by vshare. Whichever way it is...the website needs to have the tools to tweak the encoder to ensure the flv file meets the requirements of the website operator.

Thank you for the links... but they don't actually help in this case.
