One thing to consider is the resolution of your .wmv to start with. If it's, say, a 500Kbps Windows Media file you're transcoding to Flash, you'll end up with an inferior Flash file than if you start with a high resolution WMV, Quicktime or AVI file.

Any of the above mentioned programs will do a good job of transcoding. We use Sorenson Squeeze because we usually do multiple formats and bitrates, and Sorenson has some pretty nifty batch processing.

btw, did i mention that mencoder is completely free and it can convert anything to anything?

If you already use macromedia or now adobe studio, flash pro comes with a video converter which is separate from flash. All you have to do is select all the videos you want converted, click start and come back when it is finished.
