Prroblems Exporting .MOV files from Flash CS5

[pablo0o0o0o0]

I am having trouble exporting my animations created in Flash CS5 (or Macromedia flash 5, or CS3) to .MOV files. I'm having these issues on different  platforms  (mac and pc) and different operating systems (XP and win 7) - I only get error messages and out of memory errors, even on the fastest computer I have with 4gig of RAM working on a 2mg Flash file.

I just want to convert my Flash files to a format that can play on Youtube and standard DVD players. Also I've tried many converters (flash to video) - not all free (Moyea, Roxio, iWisoft, Winfx Video Converter, Amor, E.M. Magic, etc, etc) - nothing works. The main problems are either the sound is not synched, the playback is choppy, and the quality is awful.

I think my only hope of getting a good video is starting with a good .MOV file exported from Flash. I know the program is supposed to do this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I think part of your problem might be coming from your use of movie clip symbols, "after I use the 3D rotation tool" that tool only works on movie clip symbols. What I have found on the web leads me to believe that graphic symbols will export to .mov files much better than movie clip symbols. Even though I have had movie clip symbols export cleanly, and I don't know why. While a movie clip symbol can have ActionScript attached to it, for games and what not, that is not necessary needed to to produce an animation .mov file.

For me, to get a clean .mov, I set the document fps at 30 frames per second - to match video at 30 fps, I only use graphic symbols, I try to only use shape and classic tweens, with motion guide layers when needed rather than motion tweens. In the Publish Settings dialog I uncheck everything execpt .swf (don't need a HTML or XML file published to get a .mov). I follow the QuickTime settings outlined in Rob Dillon's response above but will sometimes use animation compression. If the first export is not clean, I export again, sometimes exporting 3 or 4 times to get a clean file.

If that doesn't work your maybe caught in the file is to heavy/machine not big enough debate. Good Luck.
