I am considering putting some vieo in an all Flash site produced with Swish.

I see there are a number of programs out there that will convert AVI to Flash or Swish.

I don't want to make a mistake here after getting great stuff with Vegas... I want it to look good on the net and be presented via a good web site...

So, I have some questions... please comment.

1 - Are there disadvantages to showing your movies as Flash/Swish files?
2 - Do you get the same video/picture quality as say WMP9 or Quicktime?
3 - Can you get the same compression so the movies load just as quick?
4 - What is the best converter program for quality and compression?
5 - What are the disadvantages to an all Flash/Swish Website?

Thanks for all comments and suggestions.

Will

Hi kpjit, Welcome to Swish-Tutrials

"You can not play an AVI directly in Swish, but you can convert it to either an animated Gif file or convert the AVI to SWF and use 'load movie' to load the SWF file into your 'main movie'. I use Ulead Gif Animator to convert AVIs to SWF. But, there are other programs that will do the conversion as well.

Hope that helps. "


Well, any good?

Grazie
