Hi - hoping this is correct place to ask on here?
When I resize the swf/projector which plays an external FLV, the quality is poor at anything larger than its true size. Am keen to have a flexible size projector so it plays fullscreen.
***** FLV player does it fine, so it's possible!
Any idea guys?

you won't retain quality if you resize. you'll need to provide a high-quality, large (in dimensions and bitrate) file before scaling above the true size.
Bear in mind that some people watching your video may well be doing so on 24inch+ monitors. Do you really think that any video smaller than 1920x1080 is going to look great in fullscreen on that monitor?
my recommendation, if you can manage it, is to encode at full HD in h264 quicktime.then of course you have the issue of file size, bandwidth etc.
lastly, you could try encoding at different bitrates/sizes and linking them to larger screen sizes via a custom ui.

Dan.. many thanks. I do understand that showing at anything other than true size will affect quality. But what I'd hoped is the projector would do as good a job as the ***** player when resizing does happen - it does a grand job just softens the picture a little, much nicer than the blockiness I'm suffering with the projector.
The FLV is already quite big - 1024 by 576 pixels.
Flash copes with QT files? Never tried.. will try now...
