Convert swf to mov or avi etc

Hi
I've designed a vector animation in flash 8 using a 16:9 ratio to be projected on a video screen. What is the best way to convert this swf to a format that can be played on a normal dvd player so it can be projected on a screen and maintain the vector graphics and continuously loop without pauses? any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Stefan

I am having he same problem with Flash CS4 and can't figure it out.  I keep getting ghosted images when exporting to Quicktime via Animation or DV/DVCPRO codecs.  The only thing that seemed to work was exporting via PAL.  Why that worked I have no idea since I'm using region 1 NTSC displays and equipment, but it did.
One other thing you might want to try is exporting it as a PNG sequence and then reassembling it in After Effects.  Then you can just instruct the dvd file to loop the single clip.  Completely tedious, yes, and problematic if you have a different framerate than 29.97, but might be a workable last resort if no one else out there has any answers.

  • Convert SWF to MPEG or AVI

    What is the easiest way to convert an SWF (or FLA for that matter) to a standard video format like MPEG2 or AVI?
    I've tried a couple programs I found on a google search, but none of them seem to work correctly. I'm hoping someone on here knows of a good way (really seems like it should be a built in feature, or at least a purchasable plug-in).

    I should mention, and maybe this will help the problem be diagnosed:
    I'm trying to convert 2 different animations (both created by me). One seems to convert pretty easily (by a few different programs). The other keeps showing up as only "2 frames" in a few different programs. In one program it registers as half the vertical resolution, and gets stretched to the expected resolution.
    If I can solve the 2 frame thing, I already have a program that seems to work fine.
    Any ideas?

  • Big trouble(got stucked) trying to convert swf to mov

    Hello, folks
    I'm trying to convert some swf files to Mov, or mpeg, or any video type file, so I can import it to FCE and use it.
    Since FCExpress do not work with swf files, I've downlodead a LOT, A LOT, of softwares and NO ONE of it worked in this conversion.
    I'm very helpless, please someone gimme a light! Thanks

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    For what is worth, you can use a screen capture utility like Ambrosia SnapzPro X to "record" a live window playing your swf. The latest SnapzPro update has fixed issue with FPS in FCE.

  • Converting from QuickTime movie to AVI

    I see a lot of questions about converting from .avi to Quicktime but how do I accomplish a conversion from a Quicktime .mov format to an .avi format?
    The reason I ask is because I emailed someone a QuickTime movie and he could not view it and asked for me to send an .avi. I 'think' he's on a PC. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    You can use this freeware to make the conversion:
    Mpeg StreamClip
    or you can buy the QT Pro license and use it. With Pro you open the mov file and use Export in the file menu to make the conversion. More details on using Pro are in the QT 7 guide available here:

  • Converting .mpg and .mov to .avi

    I am on OS X 10.4.5 and Quicktime 7.0.4
    I am trying to convert .mov and .mpg to .avi files. This is so that I can insert these files into a powerpoint presentation and they will run better. I downloaded iSquint but that only seems to help me convert video files to mpg4.
    Any advice on how to save as an avi?

    I think .avi is a container, not a format. You can try with flip4mac and create windows media files (if you can't create any other format powerpoint accepts).On the other hand, if you have iWork-I think Keynote can be viewed from powerpoint.

  • Convert IFO to .mov or .avi

    I have IFO files that only play on WINDVD, I need to convert them using a mac application to .mov or a avi. file to import into final cut.
    Somthing easy and free.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi. IF it's a DVD part-recorded on a DVD recorder and not finalised, and IF the file with the video content is actually a .VRO file - which tends to be large (and NOT an .IFO file which tends to be small), then +MPEG Streamclip+ is your friend.

  • Convert .iMovieMobile to .mov, .avi, etc.

    I want to be able to view this on computer without using other export options like FB and You Tube from iMovie IOS.  It is saved as a .iMoviemobile file in iTunes.  How can this be converted to a .mov or .avi?

    I'm not sure what you mean by CPU?
    But I'll guess you meant to say a computer?
    Is the file a quicktime movie (with a .mov extension)?
    What type of computer are you using (Type and CPU)?
    Are you able to play other videos shot with your iPod Touch?
    You might need the latest version of Quicktime.
    iMovie iOS encodes in the same format as the iPhone and iPad records in; Quicktime H.264.
    So in theory if you can play a vide from your camera roll, you can play a video from iMovie iOS.

  • FLA or SWF -- MOV or AVI conversion?

    I have searched the forums already and could not come up with a definitive answer. I understand that the latest QuickTime update broke SWF compatibility, but are there any other solutions, either commercial or not, for converting SWFs or FLAs into a movie file - either MOV, AVI, or whatever else? We can pay for the software if it's out there. Google searches yielded only Winblows garbage. Starting up in a previous OS version is also not an option.
    Basically, we need to get our Flash movies onto DVDs quickly, and repeatedly. Maybe you folks have other ideas for doing that... ?
    Thanks all!

    You can use either Quicktime Pro or Mpeg-Streamclip to convert the flv's to .mov.
    Mpeg-Streamclip.

    For Quicktime Pro you'll need this component:

    As for .swf, I have no idea. Since Quicktime plays a factor in some programs to convert swf to .mov. I have the flash program so it not a problem for me to convert them.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • What is a good video converter - from .mov to .avi

    I've tried researching this topic and I've seen a lot of partially helpful info.  I'll try to be specific.  I'm using a MBP with OS X, and iMovie '09 (version 8.0.6).  I'm trying to convert my edited .mov files to either .avi or .wmv files so i can embed them into a powerpoint presentation for PC.  I am not trying to rip DVDs.  These are interview I filmed myself.  I need a decent (free or inexpensive) converter to do this.  I have tried Handbrake and i only get .mp4 as an format option.  I've also tried MPEG StreamClip but when it converts there is no audio.  I don't mind paying a few bucks to have a good converter, but i want one that will do the job.  Any help or opinions are greatly appreciated!

    For .wmv, you can use Flip4Mac. http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
    A potentially free solution is to use regular iMovie h.264 files (.m4v) and be sure to install QuickTime for Windows on the Windows PC.
    If you need to distribute the PPT to multiple PCs, I would go for Flip4Mac.
    To the best of my knowledge, purchasing Flip4Mac gives you the components and codec you would need. Then you do the actual conversion in QuickTime Pro. MPEG Streacmlip might work, but I'm not certain. Worth trying since it is free.

  • HELP! Converting MPEG4 into Mov, AVI, WMV

    I made a small clip on iMovie. I need to upload to a website for my band. I clicked on Share then export movie to my desktop. The website clearly says..."For video, we accept the following formats: WMV, MOV, AVI, MPG, MP4, FLV"
    Also, "SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT VIDEO:
    GigMasters will automatically convert all WMV, MOV, AVI, MPG, and MP4 files to FLV. The conversion process will change the size of your video to 320 x 240 if it's not that size already. Also, the "audio sampling rate" of the video must be 11025 hz, 22050 hz, or 44,100 hz. Otherwise the audio may be garbled on playback."
    Everytime I try to upload it tells me, "We do not accept the format of the file you selected. Please make sure your file format matches one of those listed above."
    Somebody please help. Thank you.

    If using 4:3, which would be better given the AR of the movie required by your website, using the export to movie and then choosing the mobile size should be just fine. However your website may not like the .m4v extension added to the movie, in which case simply open the movie in Quicktime and select save as from the file menu, the resulting video will now be in a .mov container which you can then try uploading to your website.

  • Can't convert MOV to AVI - turns black

    hi all,
    i've converted thousands of files to AVI from MOV's....suddenly, when i convert them, they turn black
    i ususally convert from Uncompressed MOV to Uncompressed (using NONE codec) AVI and no problems.
    but now, the file just turns black
    help/????
    i also have Perian, and have enabled/disabled, but no luck

    Use MPEG Streamclip. It is free. 3GP format is usually for phones so you may want to try that, admittedly pretty tiny blocky video. MPEG Streamclip does export to AVI though you need to know what codec the Treo supports. The is because AVI is not a codec it is a container like MOV and can have any combo of video and audio in it. You can have an AVI with a clip with WMV video and MP3 audio or H264 video and AAC audio and the possibilities are endless.
