FFmpeg can generate h.264 in an mp4 wrapper.  My understanding (and
experience) that MOST sub-versions of Flash 9 and above supports both
these specs, though I have seen inconsistencies. Sorenson in an FLV
wrapper is the better guaranteed flash compatible playback, but that
codec is a big quality hit compared to h.264.
