I've always wanted to put some of my flash onto a DVD (if only to fuck around/the novelty of seeing something I've made on my telly-box), and don't really know where to start. So here, some questions:

- What's a GOOD way to convert .avi (or the suitable type of video file for a DVD) to .swf?

- What would be a good program to make the DVD? I have a bit of experience in some programs I had to use at school and they all kind of came off as amateurish, something not aimed at a geek.

- I'm guessing 550 x 400 wouldn't look that great on a TV so what resolution or whatever would I need to try and export this stuff at? Also I'm pretty sure I need to keep in mind something to do with the colour palette or something?


Anyone with some background in this I'd appreciate the help

I think it's possible to export your flash to .FLV and then use a converter to make it an .AVI

Also, the best person to ask would be Koala, since he's got experience in this.

It's also possible to export your movie to .avi.

Yeah, but i think that putting it straight to .avi lessens the quality, i could be wrong though.

I thought the main problem was that everything had to be in Graphic symbols, as in MovieClipped symbols won't work properly.

They do work, just that with MC's the sound sync seems to start failing half-way through.

I've wondered what The Brothers Chaps use. Their DVD's are of great quality.

I say Sothink SWF to AVI would be the best way to convert SWF to another filetype. As for DVD, I would like to know this as well.

Once you get it into AVI, you could use practically anything, hell if you can get it into WMV format you can just use Windows Movie Maker.
