Hi Can some one tell me about video embed in flash. 1. if i have a raw Avi file or Mpeg file, first most important which software do i edit to cut down the movie in 3 minute mpeg file, im comfortable with Adobe premier. 2)once i get the file converted to mpeg 3 min film, what is the next step, i have purchased flv converter form the net. so should i convert the mpeg file to flv, and then embed into flash ?? is the best way to edit and get good quality video for the internet. regards shameera ---

hey, depending on the quality you want to achieve you can either encode an MPG in H.264 using a variety of tools and then just rename the extension to .flv or use the Flash Import Video for lower quality… some links: [http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2008/2/2/jaw-drop-h264](http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2008/2/2/jaw-drop-h264) [http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/flvencoder/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm](http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/flvencoder/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm) cheers!
