Hey.

I’m trying to make a movie player for a website i’m working on and the file sizes are hitting the roof!!

The video clips have been exported to quicktime and are all roughly between 1mb and 4mb but then increase drastically when i export them through flash.

Is it best to embed the movie into flash or have it load the video clip externally - if so how do i go about this  
Could you please give me some advise on the best methods to use video in flash keeping high quality with small file sizes - If i don’t sort it soon me boss is gonna is gonna go nuts!!!

cheers mike.
