Okay as the production on my first game is finally starting again I'm left with a minor proplem.
I know What I want But I'm not sure if there is a better way to go about it.
I am having fully animated cutscenes like CMI but I was wondering how I can do it with out booting my file size through the roof?
Last time I worked on this game I believe it said it only accepted FLI and FLC, and both are a pretty big file so any suggestions or Ideas?

AVI's are big as well any other ways/

What, a smaller way of storing video than AVI?  I don't think there is one.. DivX would be the best bet for avi video I guess.
Animated cut scenes are big whatever, that's why they usually come on CD.

So I can use the divx codec?

You can use any codec you like as long as it willplay in windows media player.  But if you wanted to use divx you would have to make sure people who played it had the divx codec.. that either means making it very clear you need it with the download or including it with it.
