Need to write a program that converts Quicktime and other files to SWF format

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Currently a user needs to export movies his/herself.  Flash doesn't even
have a good method for exporting a jpeg-based SWF file from a QT movie.

We should use a version of FFMPEG and contribute to the project to output
AVM2 based swfs
