I recently had the pleasure in tech editing the brand new publication titled Hands-On Guide to Flash Video: Web Video and Flash Media Server (Hands-On Guide Series) by Stefan Richter and Jan Ozer.
This was a fantastic opportunity on my behalf to work through a subject which is a bit of a rarity on the literature front and covers (in their words) Flash Video production from soup to nuts, beginning with how to configure your camcorder and ending to advanced server techniques like bandwidth detection and FMS logging and reporting. As far as flash video deployment on the web either progressive or streaming this will give you a solid foundation to build on… I learnt a lot of nice little tips and tricks from Stefan who in my eyes is most definitely the FlashCom guru… Buy it :)
