Are you using Flash Pro because it takes in full quality video? ---

Your best bet is to dump (export) your MPEG video out as a FLV file. Then using the MediaPlayback Component you can call in your FLV file without having to embed the MPEG in your SWF, having your Flash frame rate affect the video playback time, and lastly without affecting the video itself.
