Converting .swf file to .flv or mp4 for free?

Hi,
Does anyone know of a program that will allow me
to convert a .swf file to .flv or .mp4 for free?
I can only find paid software to do this.
Thanks,

Could depend on where you got your .swf, too. The easiest way to obtain a useful copy of the video portion of a SWF file is to ask the creator to export it for you as a movie instead of native .swf which can contain tons of information that isn't really a movie.

Playing SWF files in FLV Player

Hi,
               I would like to know whether swf files can play in an FLV Player or not. If not possible, is there any option for developing an independent swf player. If so, please tell me the technique that can be used to develop swf player.
Regards,
          Sreelash.

Thank for your reply friend. I understood what u said. Actually the requirement for the client is to stream swf file as streaming flv file. So I think, in the server side we have to use converter. I meant, if the client put the swf files in the server, the server side program calls the converter before streaming to the client side.
The functionality what I meant is following:
1) The client request for an swf file.
2) In the server side, it is placed as swf files.
3) Then, programmatically the server side code invokes the converter and convert the swf file to flv file before          streaming.
4) This is what I meant the use of converter.
I hope you understood what I meant. Can I have your mail id please. Because in forum not everyone reply for the doubts. Also I am the only action script programmer in my company and I have only 5 months experience. My mail id is [email protected]
Thanks and Regards,
              Sreelash.S.

How can I convert .swf file to exe file?

thanks

Hi
Thank for your choise.
If showing only white screen, please download the lastest version, v2.03.
http://www.bullrushsoft.com/download.html
This problem occurs in Win7 sp1, especially IE has been upgraded to v10.
Our SWF to EXE Converter must need the FlashPlayer plugin for IE, it 's not a atandalone program.
So it only 880KB.
Our online converter is the adobe flash player exe, it can be embed the swf into, and standalone, so its size > 4MB.
More details, please visit http://www.bullrushsoft.com/online.html
Best Regards.

FilmRedux (open source version of Visual Hub) or FFmpegX. Alternatively, you can upload to YouTube, let them convert the file, and then download the converted file version.

Converting .swf files to .exe files on a mac?

How can I convert .swf files to .exe file on a mac?
I am working in Flex, so if there is a way to directly export .exe files that would be even better, but either one would be great. Can't seem to find any answers on this.
Thanks a lot!

Have you tried asking in the Flex forum?

Converting SWF file for publication and secure distribution.

I'm looking for advise on how to securely publish .swf files created in inDesign CS6 How to build a launcher and how to convert into iPad and Android apps.

You can't do any of that with just ID. You need access to the Digital Publishing Suite and generate the relevant ePub formats and platform-specific packages.

Converting FLA files to FLV and/or F4V

Hi there,
Novice Q. I'm using the trial version of elearning suite and am unable to import flash video into Captivate. I'm assuming the FLA files need to be converted to FLV or F4V, but I can only generate SMV files, and these do not import into Captivate. I have media encoder start-up faults, which I am trying to address in the relevant forum. Does the encoder need to be active to convert these flash files? Running Mac OS 10.5.8. and wanting to upgrade to Lion soon (which may also be problematic for the media encoder in itself). Thanks.

Thanks for that. swf files import with no visual entry content i.e. there are no playback buttons shown although the video is there. I am pretty green with this, so it could be me as opposed to anything inherently wrong within the prgoram. I have downloaded and used a trial version of Wondershare Video Convertor and generated a flv file that does work in Captivate, so I do have usable video content. I have also looked at the Flash CS5.5 trial version documentation and it says:
The trial versions of After Effects CS5.5, Flash Professional CS5.5, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and Audition CS5.5 do not include some features that depend on software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of these products. HDV, XDCAM and AVCHD formats and sequence presets are not supported in the trial for both Mac OS and Windows. Adobe Media Encoder export does not include MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-2 DVD or MPEG-2 Blu-ray as export formats in the trial. The file importer does not recognize file types that are not included in trial mode (such as MPEG and XDCAM files). HDV is not included as a capture format in the Mac OS version of the trial.
My source video has been MPEG-4 so this is likely to be the problem. I'll use the converted video as a sample at the moment.. I'm trying to convince my clients to use this suite, and they will need video capability, so I hope it is not an inherent bug within the program. Ultimately their IT department will take over these types of specifics, as it's not my area. Cheers.

How can I save a flash or swf file to flv file?

I've created a flash banner and I need to send it by email as a flv file. Does any one knows how to convert from swf or fla files to flv?
Thanks

Only accept FLVs at 40 KB? Yikes... Well, I'll say this, I never work on ads or banners, etc., so I don't have to deal with such stringent file size parameters. But, when it comes to video, you only have one option to reduce the file size: Compress compress compress.
You have to choose a very low bit rate (aka data rate) for your FLV video file when you compress the MOV file. And, likely, it's going to make it look pretty crumby... You're going to have to set your data rate down tot he absolute lowest setting.
Data rate is measure in kbps (kilobits per second), such as 700 kbps (a current, typical data rate for video that is suitable for broadband Internet speeds).
As an aside, I find it pretty odd that they require a video file, versus a simple, small Flash SWF animation (that's more to do with my banner ad / bandwidth limits un-awareness than anythings, though). It makes your job a little harder and adds seemingly unnecessary steps... They really require that ALL banner animations be video, and not Flash SWF animations? Be sure you know 100% what their specs are, AND also ask to see other banner ad examples so you can see proof that other animations have been given tot hem with the same spec. I just can't belive that a video file is going to be < 40KB...
Get more familiar with using the Adobe Media Encoder. If you're not that confortable using it, just search online for tutorials about it, which will be easy to find.
See the attached image. I did a 60 frame (30 fps, total runtime of 2 seconds only) SWF animation of a box animated from the upper-left to the lower right, stage size of 300x200 (per your spec). Simple, basic, nothing crazy. From Flash, I exported the MOV file, and brought this into Adobe Media Encoder CS5. Setting the format of the new video to FLV, and setting the data rate to 5 (crazy low setting). The file size came down to ~ 110 KB.
Good luck!

Getting .CP or .Swf files into .FLV

Hello:
I used Captivate to create 3 e-learning modules. My hope is
to deliver them via web. When enclosing the SWF files into a web
page, the application takes **FOREVER** to load (3 minutes). So,
after looking into retaining a streaming web host, I discovered
that I need an .FLV file to stream adequately.
Exporting my .CP files to Flash 8 results in drastically
degraded quality and un-synched audio and animation. Exporting the
.FLA file to .AVI is even worse. I can't seem to de-compile my .CP
file to any other Flash application in a way that maintains the
qualtiy. The SWF files are beautiful, but they can't be used to
stream.
Does anybody have any answers?

Hi, TriSys G!
If I'm understanding "lightning speed" playback of embedded
.swfs, it sounds like a frames per second (fps) mismatch. By
default Adobe Captivate records and plays back at 30 fps. However,
if the .swf you are inserting as animation was created at a
different fps rate, you can end up with the scenario you outline.
The best solution would be to go back to the original
developer of the .swf and have them re-compile at 30 fps. Of course
the developer may not be available.
The alternative is to go the other way. If you know the fps
of the swf you are embedding, you can adjust your movie's frame
rate to match the .swf. Here's the command path for that:
Project>>Preferences>>Preferences>>Frames Per
Second.
BTW, since this thread was created to answer a different
question, next time I'd suggest create a new topic so we can see
more quickly

Unable to convert swf files into fla files

Hi,
I tried using Dreamweaver to convert a SWF file into a FLA file so I can edit it in CS 5. But when I right clicked the placeholder for the file, it doesn't have an "Edit in Flash" option. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much,
Rosemary

According to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7f12a.html# WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7acf
asset is reflected in Flash immediately.
Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash
If you have both Flash and Dreamweaver installed, you can select a SWF file in a Dreamweaver document and use Flash to edit it. Flash does not edit the SWF file directly; it edits the source document (FLA file) and re‑exports the SWF file.
In Dreamweaver, open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
In the Dreamweaver document, do one of the following:
Click the SWF file placeholder to select it; then in the Property inspector click Edit.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the placeholder for the SWF file, and select Edit With Flash from the context menu.
Dreamweaver switches the focus to Flash, and Flash attempts to locate the Flash authoring file (FLA) for the selected SWF file. If Flash cannot locate the Flash authoring file, you are prompted to locate it."
But I don't see "Edit with Flash" option. Maybe because I have a trial version of Dreamweaver?

Converting .swf files into .mxml files

Hi,
I am working on a flex based project.
We need to developa a rich UI application using flex.
Our UI team is not comfortable with mxml.
But team is pretty comfortable with flash.
I was just wondering whether it is possible if UI team
creates UI screens using flash and provide us with .swf files for
the screens and we could convert them in to mxml file and will add
active scripting for dynamic behavior.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Tarun

No, you can't reasonably decompile a swf to mxml.
However, the Flash guys can create the components as SWCs,
which you can glue together with a little bit of mxml and AS.
There are some good docs on this subject.

Convert SWF file to HD video

Hi to all,
I have a big problem. I did a 10 second animation in Flash CS5 and exported to a swf file, but my client is asking me a to convert it to a video file with this requirements:
Size: HDTV 720P. (1280 X 720) pixels. 30FPS. (Frames per second)
Format: stream format: HDV-HD1. Stream Type: MPEG-2. Transport
Stream(TS). Aspect Ratio: 16:9. Britate Type: CBR (Constant Bitrate).
Number of passes: 1. Video Bitrate: 18300
I tried some conversion programs to do the job:
iWisoft Flash SWF to Video Converter
E.M. Magic Swf2Avi
Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 6
Total Video Converter HD
All of them recognizes the swf file fine, ( I set up the fla file with 1280 X 720 pixels and 30 fps) but when I try to export to a video format with the previous specifications using any of the programs, I get a very slow video, not smooth at all, and sometimes a large video with 2+ minutes (supposed to be only 10 sec). The swf file plays fine.
Any suggestions? thanks in advance.

Just open the original project FLA, file->export movie->AVI (uncompressed) and set the dimensions as you mentioned. After you get the movie exported from flash, convert that AVI (already the proper size) to the format you need.
If you have the Adobe Suite then you have Adobe Media Encoder. It supports MPEG2 (HDV-HD1 is just a specific set of settings for MPEG2). It's pretty darn easy to set up. No reason to pay for more software if you already have it.
