• Hulu.com side note...Scott misspoke about the Codec used by Hulu.com, but he was close. The FLV codec is the On2 VP6 that is supported by Flash 8 or better. Hulu's SD files are streamed at 480kbps and 700kbps. SD videos have a 288 and 360 vertical resolution while HD videos are encoded to 720p. Wanted to make the clarification.
