I am trying to get to a 100% mac production of video and It seems as I have done it.
The last bit was how to encode Flash Video on the Mac. It seems idiotic to pay $900 to Adobe just to encode some MPEG. Here is the solution:

Follow the instructions.

My first experiment was fine but there seemed to be some discrepency regarding the length of the video – the scroll bar was wrong. Riva encoding the same material seemed to get it right. But for new it seems workable and not having to add a PC to the process just to make FLV is a big step forward.
Take a look at:

To see the results of the new process.

This was shot with the new(for me PD100) camera and edited on the way back across the Atlantic on an Airbus A330. Tres cool. Like they said in the instructions I had to remove the battery- it did not have enough amps for both the computer and the battery.
Also note that this *will* recode RealMedia – Hmmm. Perhaps it is time for me to co and recode all of my old clips in a more portable format.
