What is the expected SWF to AVI file size ratio?

[Guest]

I have a 3.5 minute movie that is mainly stills and voice over. The published swf is 3.4 Mb.

When I publish it to AVI, it comes out at:

• 260 Mb using Cinepak codec
• 2,500 Mb using MJPEG compressor
• 3,000 Mb using Microsoft Video 1

Is this expected behavior?

Is there anyway to reduce these?

Thanks

From reading http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/tips_for_publish_to_avi_in_ado.html I discovered that the XviD Codec is one of the better ones. This results in a filesize of 60Mb (using the same Captivate project).

Hope this is of use to some people!
