[Hidden-tech] Flash to DVD question

[Daniel Fried]

Nate,

 

The answer (to the best of my knowledge) is no, you cannot export this kind
of complex application directly.  

 

I couldn't export even something that just had an external FLV, although
it's always possible it was a problem with my test machine.

 

I can do this by redoing all of the content, but that's an awful lot right
now, multiple CD's with 35-50 slides each, and I'm really trying to avoid
it.

 

-Dan

Hi Dan,

Could you export (or screen capture) sections of the Flash file to
Quicktime, and then compile the separate .mov files into a interactive DVD?
Other screen capture software you might be interested in is Adobe Captivate
CS3, or Camtasia Studio 5, from TechSmith.  I don't have experience with
either of these screen capture programs.

Good Luck!

Thanks to those who responded.

To clarify...

The product is currently distributed on CD-ROM.  They want it to be able to
play on a regular DVD player so it will include things like chapter breaks.

We have had performance trouble in the past with trying to capture when
there is already video (FLV's) in what we are trying to capture.  Have you
had any success with that? Do we just need to try a more powerful system?

I will look into iShowU.

Thanks

-Dan

Hi Dan

You mean they want a video DVD and not an interactive DVD I assume? Does
it play in a linear fashion or does the user have to control it? You
might want to consider using a screen cap program. There is one for the
Mac called iShowU that has great quality. Then you can just burn the
video to a DVD.

Hope that helps.
