Bhuto and ED are correct. You can import any video media type (with the exception of .wmv and .rm IIRC) into a Flash MX document. Bhutocracy mentions the Sorenson codec which, IMO, sucks. ED is also correct when he says the resulting Flash file (.swf) is bigger than the original video file. (This may not seem like a good trade off, i.e. bigger file, crappier quality). The only possible benefit of using a Flash format instead of any other type of video file is that you have complete control over the GUI that will be displayed to the surfer. Whereas an .mpg will play in Netscape one way and play in Internet Explorer another way, you could design the GUI that the surfers see with Flash.

Whether or not this is a way around the Acacia class action is something a lawyer would need to interpret.
