Re: SWF to AVI in top quality? Is it possible?

It may be a case of getting your .avi settings correct rather than trying to get good quality from .swf files which are really only designed for web use.
When you save the avi file, what settings are you using? - I don't have Flash 8, (have Flash MX Pro 2004 and Flash CS3) so some things may be different -
set the pixel dimensions close to those you will be using in your video editing software (eg: I use PAL settings in Australia so DVD mpeg2 quality is 720 x 576 - you will know your pixel count hopefully and may need to adjust for widescreen) and untick the box that says "compress video" - this will lead to larger file sizes (55 sec animation I have done = 354MB) but will leave the animation good quality for use in editing software that you use for your home movies.
