“H.264 has three commonly-used profiles: Baseline (lowest), Main, and High. Lower levels are easier to decode, but higher levels offer better compression. For example, the iPhone 3gs only supports the Baseline profile, which we use by default. The Main and High profiles are a definite step up in compression, and work fine for web playback, though be careful with HD High profile video in Flash Player, which doesn’t offer the best H.264 decoder.
For the best compression quality, choose High. For playback on low-CPU machines or many mobile devices, choose Baseline.”
