SWF or FLV

[krisTM]

Few things make me feel stupid but this is starting to. I have an Adobe Media
Server fully configured and ready to use.

This is my question: I have both videos and tutorials. I have created my
tutorials using Adobe Captive 3, videos are created from many outside sources.

My Adobe Captive and Adobe Flash Pro create only SWF files. So why do I have
a Media Server? The point is that I have a large population that accesses my
site daily. My site has a max capacity of 10M up and down. The SWF files are
very large and I do not want the user do have to down load the whole file
before viewing it. I also do not want to use bandwidth to down load a tutorial
that was not fully viewed.

My media server only serves up FLV files. So what is Adobe thinking? I can
convert the SWF files to FLV ?not using an Adobe product?.

So to ask a stupid question: Should I be converting my SWF files to FLV? And
if not why?

Thanks in advance.
