I've got a flash movie playing inside a fluid width container. The width of the flash is controlled through the max-width property in CSS (embed, object {max-width: 100%;}, so it will never grow larger than the parent container.
The movie is looking good when played in its original resolution (640x498 px), but as I downsize the window the video looks a bit distorted, kind of pixelated. However the scale property is set to default, so the video is downscaling proportionally. Could this have to do with some video encoding setting? The videos mostly contain screencaps of the Microsoft Windows environment.
Are there any properties that allow antialiasing of downscaled flv's, or does it have to do with the detail rich content inside the video?
Hope I made myself somewhat clear :)
