Embedding video from Adobe Premiere

hi - i want to incorporate some video into a flash presentation for a CD, but i’m getting confused somewhere, any tips would be hugely appreciated!

the video was initially a huge file (180 Mb), so colleague has compressed it in adobe Premiere and exported it as a WMV file which is now 23 Mb. when i imported this file into the library of my .fla (i’m using MX 2004) it seemed to take ages, so i looked at the ‘properties’, and the file size had increased to 60 Mb…

is that normal (!) or is there something i forgot to do? or, is there something incompatible between Premiere and Flash which affects the compression??

(nb is embedding the video actually the best way to go? the only reason i did it was because i was playing with a tutorial which loaded video into a flash-based ‘video player’…)

thanks in anticipation…
