is it an animation of is it interactive? whats the resolution or pixel dimensions of the swf?
Anyone know how to burn a SWF flash file to a decent looking playable DVD, perhaps with Apple DDV Pro?
Any software solution?
thanks!
Flash's .swf files are different from .flv files. As far as I know you need to open the original .FLA Flash file and export it to a QuickTime video. Flash CS3 has enhanced this feature a lot since the previous version. If you don't have the latest version try and find somebody who does so they can export the QuickTime video for you.
It may be a large file if it's a long slideshow, but then you can put that file into iMovie and then onto a DVD with a program like iDVD.
I've done this with a Flash cartoon before and it worked out fine. You just may have to adjust the video settings (like set it to H.264) to get the best results. Good Luck
Hmm yeh I am using a program (besides flash) that creates the photo slideshow in swf.... that is making it tricky, working from a .swf rather than original flash file
Hmm, that's odd. Is there any other type of exporting option other than an .swf file?
nope, the software is designed so that you will order a DVD through them ;p hence, I'm seeing if there are other solutions. Someone suggested trying a screen capture software. I'll try but I don't think the quality will be there
As far as I understand it, both of these are considered TV resolution. It has to do with the difference between square pixels (computers, digicams, etc) and rectangular pixels (tv sets.)I got a pretty good result using IShowU ot capture the SWF to QT.
I created a 720x480 sized flash though. What benefit would I get doing a 640x480?
I didn't notice some squishing of the picture when I brought the 720x480 into Imovie. Would the 640x480 prevent this?
