Hi Adam
Thanks very much for your and everyone's efforts.
Have more or less reached the same conclusion that full screen capture
and flv conversion will not scale to smaller stage size of xerte
player. The problem with linking out to an new window using media
player is that is that not all target computers have the codec so some
times it just does not work or there are long delays in "Changing media
etc".
Would it be too simple to have an xerte 1.5 frame work that just plays a
single FLV ( or SWF) at maximum stage size but no navigation buttons or
status bar - just video controller. Just open in a new window from
Xerte. ie an Xerte media player. The resolution of your conversion is
almost there.
