    What is some good software for converting to flash video? As in, high quality flash video?

    I made some videos of me playing Oblivion the other day, and they were 1280 by 1024 resolution (really huge) and I used the trial version of Prism to make it into flash video and a little bit smaller, but the quality is crappy. The Videos I made don't look quite as good as other peoples videos, and they ended up really blurry. It might be because I'm using the trial version of Prism, but I don't know.

    I also used Riva and SUPER, but for some reason they wouldn't read the .Avi files I was trying to convert. If anyones used those before, what file format do they use? It SAYS they use .Avi, but I kept getting errors.

    I also have Virtualdub, which is good for reducing the resolution to not insane levels, and a few other filters. However, I was afraid of converting the file so many times it would cause a great reduction in quality.

    I don't care if its pay software, but I probably wouldn't go over $50 for it.

    Could always try Premiere Elements. I've been found of the Pro version, but the cheaper one might work for you (can always give the trial version a shot for free).

    If you want to convert avi to flv (Flash) then the best software is Adobe Flash Encoder. It's not free but well worth paying for. I use it for all of my site's videos. Highest video quality is 800kbps which should work just fine for you.
