using FLV files in your Flash documents. With the FLV Export plug-in, you can select encoding
options for video and audio content as you export, including frame rate, bit rate, quality, and
other options. You can import FLV files directly into Flash without needing to re-encode the
video after import. For more information on video formats and importing to Flash, see "Video
Fundamentals" at www.macromedia.com/support/flash/.

plug-in is available to any application that uses QuickTime 6.1.1, including programs added after
the FLV installation.

When you export video from an editing application, the Flash Video (FLV) Exporter is used to set
various encoding options. The Flash Video Exporter is divided into three main sections: Video,
Audio, and Other. The Video section contains the encoding options for your FLV video, Audio
contains the bit-rate options for your MP3 audio encoding, and Other lets you set your scaling
and deinterlacing options.
