I want to make video files created in PD8 available on a web page. The playing must be controllable by the end user so they can forward, pause, rewind, etc. A way to control the size of the image on the screen would be nice, too.

I have been advised to use Flash. I am familiar with other file types (MPG, WMV, AVI), but not Flash.

An ideal size for the final file would be 320x240, 15 fps. Quality is important if it doesn't make the file too big.

Can PD do any of this work (creating Flash)?

Any advice for accomplishing this? Or would you recommend another file type?

As far as I know you must use a third party software to produce a flash video (.flv)

Powerdirector can do all of your edits and produce the file you need to feed to the Flash video software.

Search the Net for Flash creation software.

Powerdirector 9 may have the ability to produce a .flv, there are many changes and improvements in PD9.

I just checked the specs on PD9, it does not export .flv.

I've found Riva, shareware that creates FLVs from MPG, and it seems to work OK. But I think I need to make a SWF file from the FLV, then I need the embed code to complete that task. That's where I am stuck.

If I could bypass any of these steps, I'd upgrade to PD9, but only if. Flash has been around for a long time, and is a de facto web standard. Why doesn't PD handle it? Is it a copyright/patent issue?

I don't think PD9 would do what you want to do.

It may be a copyright/patent issue, I don't know.

I am not familiar with flash creation or embedding flash in HTML pages.

I have seen the code for embedding a Microsoft Media player in HTML.

But I have not seen the code for a Flash Player.
Search the Net, bound to be a code snippet somewhere.
