Importing mov/avi movies to flash

I can download the movie from the camera to the mac, no problem

I can then use iMovie to convert the movie to a mov or avi file, no problem

I can even import the movie to flash, export it as an flv movie and then display it in the media components, namely the MediaPlayback component

but…

with the mediaplayback scaled it tends to pixelate the image, badly in some cases :frowning:

Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
I mean what’s the best settings to export the movie from iMovies?
Best format for said movie?
Am I missing something with the scaling of the flv?
Any help/tips/points to other sites/anything…all happily received

thanks :slight_smile:
