Is it just me?

One thing that I did notice... I use Media File Editor on my video files to set Event points on my video. When these get converted to Flash, all the event points stop working.The real fact of the matter is that this feels like a "Gimick" feature. I am making an assumption here, but I would think that most people that spend time developing in Lectora are already inserting their videos and audio files in formats like wmv, or avi, and wma or mp3. I couldn't imagine someone poping a .wav file in. Point is, that by the time most video and audio is edited and ready for a course, it has probably already passed some time of compression stage. If that's the case, there is nothing to be gained by making it a flash file. The only way I could see a benefit is if Lectora did something like see all the text, pictures, video, and audio that was happening in a page, and published the whole thing together as 1 single flash file. If all it is doing is seeing 5 audios and 3 videos, and making it 8 flash files... Well, it just seems like the conversion doesn't really help the situation any.Just my 2 cents... I do a pretty decent job with Avid and other video and sound encoders. I have notice my file size go UP when I made the objects flash.
