Re: Archiving Recorded Regionals 2008
h.264 is really processor intensive both on the compression and playback ends, and it's definitely not designed for real-time encoding (at least by anybody other than DirecTV and the likes). I don't think you're going to get good performance unless you buy a specialized encoder card or have a REALLY high end system.

I recommend staying with wmv for now. The encoder performs well in real-time professionally, and is freely available. Plus I would argue it's the more accessible than quicktime MP4.

FLV is great for easy website integration, but not much else.
