howdy - been lurking here for a while, thanks for the great resource.

i export most of my video from quicktime into flv format and then import into flash. 90% of time the video I start with is an uncompressed AVI. no matter what I do the first 2-3 frames of the video are overcompressed and look horrible. this is not acceptible as I do hard cuts from jpg to video sometimes.

anyone exeprienced this? if so, have you solved it?

cheers!
