A few folk seem to be having trouble with the audio in the second screencast. We’ve just posted a rough Flash version as a stop-gap solution. The quality is a bit naff but it’s better than not being able to hear anything!

If anyone can recommend a nice tool for converting QuickTime to a good quality backwards-compatible Flash movie, please let us know in the comments. Thanks!

By backwards-compatible, what version are you targeting?

I suggest uploading it to Google video, and let them take care of the player and converting the file.

On several high-traffic university sites I use On2’s Flix exporter for Quicktime, with Flash 8 (VP6) video compression, and the open-source FLV player.

Chances are good (>97%) that anyone who clicks a link to play a “Flash Video” has at least version 8 of the player installed.
