Convert .swf to .mov or .mp4

[jasfa131]

I have a .swf file with video and audio and I need to convert it to a more manageable format for my iPod (or Quicktime). Here's a link to the file actually...
http://flash.gprime.net/media/flash/flashback.swf

I've already tried converting it with EasyWMV, but I only get the audio in the created file.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

iSquint should handle .swf

If iSquint doesn't Visual Hub will.

iSquint gave me an error, I'll be trying Visual Hub soon.

 

[jasfa131]

Visual Hub exported the file without video. Can someone try this for themselves?

 

[DeltaMac]

Did you try one of the force options?

Looking into the forums for Visual Hub
VH will convert flash videos, but will not convert flash animations.

Is this what you have?

I've tried all three just now. I got the same result (audio only). Would a log for a certain decoder be useful?

Yea, this file in particular is a flash animation. I guess I'm out of luck then .

I have a .swf file with video and audio and I need to convert it to ... or Quicktime.

Try this:

[jasfa131]

I've been able to convert it to a .fla, I'm not sure if this makes anything easier though. Is there anything I can do with this file before I try Hughvane's suggestion?

Edit: Hughvane, that app is .exe, and I don't own a PC

 

[jasfa131]

Good news! A friend of mine converted the video to .mkv, which I am converting to .m4v in QT Pro

Thanks for the effort!

Oops, sorry I did specify Mac in the Google search, but it's not infallible. Glad you've found a solution.

I am now using this program: ***.
It is just used to convert swf/flash files to many other video and audio formats, such as MOV, MP4, WMV, MPEG, AVI, 3GP, DV, VOB, MP3, AC3, etc. It also can convert SWF to AVI with Alpha which can be edited in Adobe Premiere.
What's more, you can choose the profile just according to the specific device such as iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, Zune, etc. to get the right format.
I think it's useful for you.

I call spam, especially since this is a Windows only program and this thread is older than my three children combined (ok, maybe not that old, but still spam ).

^ and to add to that, the problems been solved and forgotten

I use Convert-tune.

Hm.. the software you advertise, Nattaly, seems to be Windows only.
Welcome to Macosx.com and the thousands of OS X software alternatives.

Flash will let you export as Quicktime Video, or as a image sequence. Just look under export.
