Converting flash to DVD

[AntiClockClock]

Have any of you converted flash files to a DVD type format? If so what is the best technique? Exporting from flash as a movie file (avi with a certain codec?) or getting an actual flash conversion program? Every time I export from flash it comes out blurry and pixelated. Please post any tips and tricks.

I have no idea, and i know this is prolly noobish but its slightly related, for the canvas size for a tv its 720 x 576 pixels and its sorta related because if ur swf is that size it might not blur or pixelate as much, im gonna be quiet now sorry :p

The only professional way I could do it for a release was to go down to the local media store, ask them to transfer the .swf file to DVD, and then have them produce it. It is pretty hard to get good quality through flash. It requires a lot of rendering, a lot of time, and more programs than I could afford to burn DVDs with.

Either way, you'll probably need to export as an AVI. The cinepak codec always has a good balance of loss and filesize, so you may want to use that if you are straining for space. You need to realize, however, that it will take more rendering time to export with these kinds of codecs.

Im usually converting it to Quicktime, you can choose that on publish settings in flash. It will publish it automaticly, you will recieve a new quicktime file where you have the fla. or swf. file.

Then you can import the quicktime file to Adobe premier or something similar and burn it on a cd as a DVD, I never tried this but Im 100% sure it should work.

yeah, increase in pixel rate should be good, and as for transferring onto a DVD-RW, export the movie as an .avi and use a program like Nero or something (just Google it) et voila :)

There are several programs to convert a .swf files to a dvd. Try searching Google.

like the dude above said make sure it is an avi first. then burn to dvd. but i've tried to export as avi and it didn't come out how i wan so it'll proably be screwed. ave a look around. let us know if you get it to work too, im sure many others would like to know how to do it.

When I export as an avi with no compression being used (comes out really clear but the file size is like 100mb for 1 minute of animation) my movie plays in slow motion on windows media player... I guess I could always try just using avi to nero but I don't want it to fail and ruin the disc..
