MPEG2 to Flash

[Cunhambebe]

Hi folks...
I'd like to know if there's any way to turn an MPEG2 or AVI into a Flash file. Besides, I was just wondering if I could frameserve from Vegas to any other application to do that. One of my friends would like this animation for his website. Thanks in advance

Thank you very much for the input, Baldrick. In fact, I've already tried Camtasia but the final file is TOO big, even though the animation lasts less than a minute. Therefore this final file is definitely not suitable for a website (66 MB). Thanks anyway and I'll keep trying to find a way to configure that software or whatever to make that final file smaller. Guess I'm missing something. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

You could output to VP6.2 and then wait for the next version of flash. Should be able to give you considerably smaller files than what is currently used (sorenson spark). Not sure how you would go getting a VP6.2 avi into a flash file without re-encoding though.

Thanks for the input, celtic_druid. I've downloaded and tried Geovid which seems to output SWF files much smaller than Camtasia. Thanks again for the input, Baldrick. But anyway, I can't get the same quality of those animations found on the web. I'm almost sure, or better yet, I'm sure they make them with Macromedia Flash but I have no idea how they make them. I was just wondering if I could frameserve from Vega's timeline to this Geovid....I'll try this and reply as soon as possible
Thanks

Well the best way if it is animations is to actually animate it within flash using vector graphics where ever possible. As I said though with the next version of flash using VP6.2 you will be able to get better size/quality video.
