    I want to be able to compress whatever I produce in iMovie and FCP to Flash files. I bought the best version of Flip4Mac and all of the necessary pop-ups have found their way into the appropriate places in Compressor, iMovie and FCP. When I choose to compress to Flash it tells me I need to buy the Flash 8 encoder. Is this correct? or am I doing something wrong?

    Flip4Mac has different applications for different encoding needs. I don’t know if what you have is the original F4M product, which would be the WMV Studio line, or their new product which was aquired from Popwire which they have renamed Episode. If it is a WMV Studio product, then all this will afford you is the ability to encode WMVs (Windows Media). If it is an Epsiode product, and you also have a license for the separate Flash 8 encoder, then you can encode FVLs within Episode, but not Compressor or QT.
