Export to swf of presentations = useless for uploading to Youtube
Hi there, Apache OpenOffice 4.1 here, WinXP64. (yes, xp64, long story, no I won't upgrade). I created a 64-slides long presentation using AOO. I need this converted to video to upload to Youtube. I read somewhere that you could export to SWF and that Youtube accepts SWF uploads. So I used the Export function and saved the presentation to SWF. Strangely, a 13.5 megabytes big presentation is conveted after the export to... a 903 kbytes swf file (and the export takes a long long time). So, being the Human Magnet for Software Bugs, it seems I've hit the first AOO bug in the export to swf function... ;) When I upload this to Youtube, YT shows me a still frame while processing, warns it couldn't identify the audio codec (my presentation has a mp3 audio embedded), and after a while says done! when you watch the video, it lasts less than half a second. Which explains why a 13.5 MB stills presentation couldn't possible turn into a VIDEO of 903 kbytes... Where can I upload this test document for devs to test?. Thanks in advance.

What is the SWF export good for, then? Just to answer myself... I get it now, export to SWF writes a FLASH SLIDESHOW of the presentation, it´s now SWF video or a Flash video by any means... (Realized that by opening the swf file with a browser, it works, as a slideshow flash object, sans audio). I think this is an usability bug, it should be properly labelled ¨SWF slideshow not just export as swf. Specially when there´s tons of documents talking about uploading swf video to youtube. Confusion might arise... (I know, TECHNICALLY SWF is a container, it could be anything, SWF video, swf slideshow, but if AOO does export as SWF Slideshow and not swf video, then the option should be apropiately labeled ¨SWF Slideshow. Just my $0.02 Thoughts?
