Flix Engine, Sorenson Media and generally Vp6 encoding is really slow for
most server side encoding application. Infact Google video use FFmpeg
that, even if it supports only spark video, its really fast compared to
other
solution. ie: to convert in VP6 a 320x240 30fps video of 1 hour may requires
more than two hours while to convert it in Spark using FFmpeg may requires
around 7-10 minutes...
