From flash video to html5 video

[cool11]

I just downloaded adobe's 'wallaby' application to convert flash video to html5 video.
The conversion was done, but I really cannot understand, why a 65k swf video is now a 700k video! Bigger even than the original fla file!!!

I want to use html video in order to be able to deliver content compatible with ipad/iphones but I cannot accept a 65k video to be converted to 700k video.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it normal? Any suggestions?

are you simply trying to put a video online without using flash, or are you trying to convert a .FLA animation into something that can be viewed in HTML?

I use flash video in my site and I want to convert it to a html5 video substitute.

Why don't you simply output a h.264 video?

If I do so, which line of code would be suitable to insert it in a web page?
Is this video format browser-compatible?

take a look at Kaltura and several other HTML5 javascript video libraries...

you will need to encode your video in several formats so it works across all borwsers... and its a good idea to have a flash fallback as well.

Just put it on YouTube.

Uploading it to youtube sounds a good idea.
But, how can I have control of it?
For example I want the video to play all the time, 'loop'.
Can I achieve it, using a youtube video?
