Packaging Movies for Distribution

When you finish authoring your Macromedia Director MX 2004 movie, you have a choice of several ways to prepare it for distribution. You can distribute a movie in the Macromedia Shockwave format that plays in a browser, or you can distribute it as a stand-alone projector. Stand-alone projectors can contain the software necessary to play the movie, or they can use an installed Macromedia Shockwave Player to play the movie independent of a browser. You can also export a movie as a digital video.

You can use several Director features to prepare movies for distribution. These features include determining Publish settings and deciding which Xtra extensions to include, exclude, or download. You can also preview your movie in a browser and batch-process movie files to compress them and protect them from being edited.
