Video quality

I have several video clips that I want to include in an engage interaction. They are recorded on an HD video camera. When I convert them to a format that articulate will recognise I lose resolution. I have tried converting them to .flv, mpeg4 and using the articulate video encoder. I have seen crisp videos in other peolples articulate presentations - how do you do it? When I play the .flv files or mpeg4 files unpublished they are fine. Am I doing something wrong with the publishing settings?

I would also recommend using a bitrate calculator to determine your audio and video bitrates. The higher the video bitrate, the higher the quality but you have to keep in mind that a very large, high quality movie will have trouble playing well over the internet. Sometimes you need to sacrifice quality for bandwidth considerations.
