    Hi Marc, I just had to deal with this for my latest project. There are a few options on the market for us Mac users but the best by far is Video2SWF. It also comes bundled with Image2swf (flash slideshow maker) and Audio2SWF. They just dropped the price from $79 to $45 and it has helped me tremendously. The quality of the output is very good and you can choose to save as SWF or FLV.

    Hope that helps you.

    All the best,

    I used to use Visual Hub when I worked on my wife's MacBook Pro. Haven't used it in some time now. Looks like it's been discontinued. That's the only one I was familiar with. Surely there are others. Good luck.

      Thanks Lance... Unfortunately, I tried to get Visual Hub a few months ago - only one problem - they don't make it anymore.

      Thanks again for your reply...

      Thanks Josh... I had a feeling that I would get a reply from you.

      I actually took Sean's recommendation and purchased Video2SWF...

      ... in the process of trying it out right now.

      Thanks again

    Products like "Video2swf" though they will convert your videos to various formats will yield lower quality results than solutions like flix that have the best codecs in the industry. So if you want the end quality if your video to be higher even at lower bit rates make sure to consider the other solutions.
