customize SWF output (or get FLV output)
I'm very happy with what I can do with CamStudio (especially when combined with Dub , but the one issue I have is that the SWF produced has rather awkward UI, which I would like to replace or improve. I've managed to make it look better by messing with the bmp's and ini file, but it still does bad things, such as the play button not working to restart the video (after it has gotten to the end....you must press stop even though it is stopped). Also there is no "dragger" to go to a certain place in the video.
What I'd really like to do is somehow get an equally high quality and small size FLV file, that I can use a player such as this one http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player (which is fully customizable and has a full javascript api which would be awesome)
Are there any options out there to produce a good FLV? Everything I've tried lowers the quality. Alternatively, is there any way to produce an SWF that has better and more attractive controls?
Thanks...

Since I don't know which tools you've already tried, I'll leave you a list with some free options, in the order I think you should try them:
WinFF
http://biggmatt.com/winff/
(Latest version is 0.33)
SUPER
http://download.videohelp.com/download/SUPERsetup200825.exe
(Latest version is v2008 build 25)
Riva FLV Encoder
http://rivavx.com/index.php?downloads0&L=3
(Go to "Free Riva FLV Encoder 2.0 --> Download via Download.com")
Other alternatives (but shareware): Total Video Converter, WinAVI FLV Converter...
A recommendation: If you're using WinFF, choose "Flash video (flv) for web use (4:3)". Then click on Options and check "2 pass". Also, you'll usually get better results when matching the "Video Bit Rate", "Frame Rate" and "Video Size" settings with those of the source AVI file.
I know at least WinFF and Total Video Converter generate FLVs that work with JW FLV MEDIA PLAYER 3.15.
Good luck ;)

It uses "Any Video Converter": http://www.any-video-converter.com/download/ (Scroll down to "Download - Any Video Converter Free Version")
and
"MediaInfo": http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
This last tool is only necessary if you're planning to put your video on Youtube, because you need to check that the bitrate of the generated FLV doesn't exceed the 350 kbit/s limit they have for the uploaded videos, otherwise they will reencode it (using some substandard method that will degrade it's quality).

PS: FLVs created with Any Video Converter will work with JW FLV MEDIA PLAYER.
And if you're going to use some sort SWF control, then I suggest using either the Adobe Flash, or this program:

I have the 2004 Macromedia edition of Flash, but I'd rather use the SWF Quicker, as it is a LOT easier to learn.
To the topic I'm creating lossless FLVs - check it here http://blog.creonfx.com/flash/howto-create-lossless-flash-screen-captures-screencasts-for-free . If the moderators think it is appropriate to create a new topic to discuss it will be great
