[osflash] ffmpeg with new flash player video formats

[Muzak]

The following works for mpeg to mp4, but may work for avi/qt as well:

ffmpeg -y -i "path_to_input_file.mpg" -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -level 13 -b 768k -bt 768k -bufsize 2000k -maxrate 768k -g 250 -coder 
1 -threads auto -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ab 128 "path_to_output_file.mp4"

Note that mov files already encoded with H.264 and AAC will play fine.
The Flash player can handle any of these (as long as they're H.264 encoded): .mov, .mp4, .m4v

You can grab any HD trailer from the QT site. Should play just fine.
