Subject: Re: FLASH: Tracing Bitmaps - Movie Sequences....

Vector is only smaller on simple files, sort of analogous to the dif
between gif/jpeg compression. Complex photorealistic files will often
be _larger_ when converted to vector than jpeg, etc.

To get around it, use a filter on your video/photo to simplify the
image (see egomedia.com;-), or render with a 'toon' shader from a 3D
app. (see:
<http://www.humboldt.edu/~mmp5/s/s1.html> 4 example.
