Importing AVI's into Flash MX on a Mac

ianknight · 09-19-2006, 10:17 AM

Hi all,

Until recently, I have been using a product called WildForm Flix to import AVI movies into Flash format to enable import into other Flash movies. I was then using Flash 4 on the Windows platform.

I am now using Flash MX on Mac OS 10.3, so I cannot use this product.

Can anyone recommend an alternative AVI to Flash converter tool for OS X, or does Flash MX have the ability to import from AVI format built-in already ?

Many thanks

Ian.

Can't remember off the top of my head what support MX has for direct FLV conversion.. I think it can encode with the older sorenson codec.
I personally use sorenson squeeze for OS/X, it's pretty good and you can try it out here: http://www.sorensonmedia.com/solutio...d/comp_mac.php

Thanks for the pointer

Since posting, I've discovered that Wildform have passed support of the Flix product over to On2Technologies http://www.on2.com, and the product is available for the Mac.

I also think I need to explore the new FLV Flash Video capability that appears to have been introduced with Flash MX.

Regards,

Ian.

I suspect you need Mac SWF Converter for that, if at all possible... if you are interested in it, here is a step by step guide about how to use it. My friend recommend to me, I used it to convert swf to flv and avi. works excellent. It can also convert mov, avi to swf/flv

I think it deserves a try.
