i have created a flash animation of about 5 minutes with a track i made in garageband.
i am using "swf2avi" software but upon opening up the avi, the sound is all broken up.
the file is about 9GB but i would need to compress down to 4gb (for DVD consumption) without hopefully reducing the quality of the graphics.
am i using the right software? how do i get the file size down?
what format avi do i use then?thanks for your help!!!

Do you use any compression at all or is it a lossless video?
And you can always export sound as .wav and then put avi and wav together in Premiere or AE or FCP where you have more control over compressing.
My suggestion. convert your swf to png sequence, import in After Effects and export sound as wav and bring it also to AE

what resolution are you talking about? ntsc/pal? sounds even larger than uncompressed to me...
your player probably can't keep up, try opening the avi with quicktime and turning off the video track.
i'd render out only the video, spend the $30 for quicktime pro if you don't have it. open up your swf2avi output, "add" your mp3 file, than "export" to a light compression. even animation w/ rle at 100% (lossless) should knock it down a great deal.
hope this helps...

why do you want to in the first place? Make sure you're sounds are always .wav. Use that and then use Sorenson Squeeze at http://www.sorenson.com and squeeze it. If the track you made in Garageband is exported at .wav. Flash itself will compress it, but maybe you exported out of GB as a .swf?

I will try it separate. The problem is that I am using Movie clips and actionscripting, so I cannot simply export. I will try without the music as it's eating up everything, time, hard disk and my patience. See if After effects will be my saviour.
The reason its done in flash and all that trouble is that I am using it for both computer format so needs to be higher res, and also at a shop to play.
Thanks for all your responses. Any other way to help me will be much appreciated.
