Converting swf to h.264 format?

Has anyone successfully converted a Captivate swf (that contains audio narration, such as text-to-speech) to an H.264 format? I've tried publishing to F4V and then using Adobe Media Encoder to convert to H.264 video, but the voice becomes out of sync with the video. I don't have any audio/video sync issues in the swf at all.
Thanks.
EDIT: actually when I use F4V with Fixed Frame Rate, the audio stays in sync, but gets distorted. Not only is the audio distorted, but the video ends up being paused at various places momentarily. I can see this happen while I am publishing as F4V--the video actually stops running/publishing momentarily (this always happens at the same places in the video). This pause always happens on the first slide as the mouse begins to move, and then happens at the same places in a few other places in the course of the video. These pauses are actually in the finished F4V. I don't think this is a problem of system resources, either.

This isn't so much of an answer as it is a question: how did this issue work out for joebor1776?! I asked this like same ? earlier today (about converting swf to h.264) but got no reply while I waited... Mine doesn't have sound but did you have to convert 1st to quicktime and then to the h.264 or did you give up to plot another process?

Convert swf to dvd format

what is the most efficient way to convert swf to dvd
format? are there more than one way? I'm trying to avoid
degradation

I think they mean to convert flash content into a type of
file to use for dvd authoring/burning. "Efficient" is a relative
term when it comes to what you want to do. The best answer
sometimes depends on what is actually in your flash file. If it's
all vector, you have less to worry about when it comes to
generation loss. There are several "swf 2 avi" converters out
there. Flash itself lets you export to avi, but the quality has
never been good. I use GeoVid's Flash to Video Encoder
http://www.geovid.com/Flash_to_Video_Encoder_PRO/
and Flashants SWF2Video
http://www.flashants.com/root/index.shtml
Each performs relatively well. From that, you can use the exported
video and place into whatever dvd burning application you
have.

Converting SWF to MP4 format - Captivate v6

Hi,
When I create a course in MP4 format with Captivate v6, what actually happens is that it publishes the course in SWF format, and it then converts this into MP4 format.
However, I would like to use this converter to convert standalone SWFs into MP4 format, mainly because I've lost the original Captivate file. Is this possible?

Cheers for that. It looks the ticket, although my boss might balk at the idea of paying another £60 since he forks out quite a lot for Captivate. I'm guessing that it isn't possible to use the converter in Captivate to convert SWFs without having the original Captivate file, so I'll hunt around for some free converters.
Thanks.

I want to put my .m2ts movies (Sony HD recorder) on my Ipad3. It looks they need to be converted to h.264 format. Question is will Quicktime Pro work or are there any better software solutions. Running XP system. Thanks

You could try Handbrake, it works quite well.

Does Adobe Captivate 4 allow you to produce output in the H.264 format?

O.K., I don't really understand my own question. My department is probably buying some additional Captivate licenses for a project. One of the techies asked a colleague of mine if the Captivate licenses we are buying will allow us to publish in H.264.
I don't have Captivate 4, but I'm guessing the answer is "No". Based on my understanding, H.264 is the codec for the MPEG-4 video format utilized by iTunes, YouTube, etc. Not that I fully understand exactly what a codec is.
My assumption is that a .swf to video converter would be needed to publish Captivate files in the H.264 format.
Is this correct? Or is this capability part of Adobe Captivate 4?
Thanks.

Hi there
I certainly cannot claim to be any sort of expert on the H.264 format, but Captivate 4 only produces SWF, EXE and AVI formats. So you are correct in that you would need to convert from either the SWF or AVI format to an H.264 format. From what I understand, AVI and MP4 are the two file extensions you may find H.264 file format used. So I suppose it's possible to say that if you have a CODEC (Compressor/Decompressor) installed for H.264, Captivate could spit out an AVI encoded in H.264 format.

Convert WMV to a video format for iPod?

Hello,
I have a WMV recording of a Microsoft Live Meeting event. It is 1.5 hours in length, about 31MB and 4 fps. I need to convert it to a video format that can be played on a video iPod. When I try to export as MP4 from Premiere Pro CS4, the file size really balloons. What settings can I use to keep the file size similar to that of the WMV?
Thanks.

Hi,
You could try using the Apple iPod Video Small preset in AME under H.264 format after customizing the Target Bitrate and Maximum Bitrate. Try reducing these bitrate values. You could use the Estimated File Size that shows up at the bottom of the AME Settings UI as a rough guide to the final file size.To change the bitrate values, first launch AME Settings UI by clicking on the Settings button in AME batch after selecting the batch item.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Converting .swf to video without losing frames

This question has been asked and incorrectly answered a number of times already. Specifically, on an Apple computer, it seems that there is no way to get a video file (.mov, .mpg or any other) out of Flash Pro without severe loss of quality or complete destruction of frame rate.
My .swf files look fantastic, just like they are supposed to. The play at the correct frame rate and all items work as I have set them up. When I go to export it as an .mov or .mpg, the frame rate speeds up and slows down depending on the objects on the screen. I have played with the settings endlessly, knocking the quality down to almost the lowest settings (something I would rather not do after working very hard on my piece) as well as adjusting the frame rate options all over the place to see if anything changed. Nothing. I have read many a forum where Flash creators have the same problems and are tearing their hair out because their work is essentially useless being stuck in Flash.
I know that there are programs that convert .swf files to video very well, some of them cost about $100. Why buy Flash in the first place if you have to buy another, almost equally priced piece of software just to get your content out of Flash? I also know that there are hundreds of free video converters out there for Apples, none of them seem to be able to handle the .swf format, but can do just about everything else. I further know that for windows, there is the free Iwisoft .swf to video converter that works just fine, but does not handle Apple created .swf files when ported across to a PC. How is it that such software is easy and free on a Windows machine, but not a Mac?
I would love it if an Adobe rep could answer some of these questions because I have been all over the web looking for answer to which no one seems to have the right one. Most people can suggest a good video converter that works for them, but they haven't tried it on a .swf file and when the original user tries it, it does not work and the thread dies there. Any suggestions?

@DR. Silky - I reviewed the converter logs at approximately the time you must have tried the conversion. As you guessed Flabaco was designed for shorter length animations but it can handle longer animations - It just requires more time and server resources.
I've forced the conversion for your swf file (I assume I got the correct swf) and it should now be converted.
This conversion required manual intervention but if there are users for such requirements, I'd like to make such conversions possible.
To download the converted videos, goto www.flash-banner-converter/converter using the same browser you used. As long as the browser cache wasn't cleared - or - as long as the Start Again button wasn't clicked, you will see the converted videos.
If you are unable to see the videos mail me the swf filename and I'll send you a direct link. (use the email address mentioned on the support page as you might not want your content exposed on a public forum)
The videos are in 3 formats - webm, mp4 and ogv. The quality of each of these videos might differ and you can choose the one that suits you best.
Note: The conversion token / serial number was R1328993157691***_*****_****. You'll see this number on the converter page (but not the home page). (If you see a different number it means I've forced the conversion of the wrong swf.)
Would be glad to help with any more conversions you have - after all its an opportunity for Flabaco to improve and become more useful.
Kayo.

Slow export on H.264 format

When I try to export a quicktime movie into H.264 format,
streaming or download,my Windows XP machine becomes so
slow and my computer stops responding.

It's a complicated process and takes a long time on any computer.
Since the video quality is so good I've been converting at smaller dimensions (480X360 instead of 640X480). This speeds up the process a bit and I play back at double size.
I also do large files while I sleep.

My ole' Premiere program...trying to convert created video into supported format for youtube...

I have the Adobe Premiere 3.0 program...i know, i know...pretty ancient. But hey, it works for the time being...lo. My problem is, i keep creating videos from this program, and am unable to convert it into the format supported by Youtube...HEEELLLPPP!!! The format i am saving it in is, [.prel]. the formats acceptable are; MPE4 format [Divx, Xvid, or SQV3 instead of h. 264] at 640x480 resolution with MP3audio [64k momo]
After reading those stereo instructions, my question is....hoe do I convert an already designed video to fit these specs?
Thanks in advance for your assistance, and I love you all.

Thanks Hunt, hun.
Been trying to figure this out for some time now. I am not that knowledgeable in the formats for videos being uploaded to different sites, but i am pretty good at creating videos. I am saving them in the format [.prel], and have no iea as to how to convert the format from - .prel, to {any other format}. I am looking on the program, and see no spot for conversion. i also have a program called prism video converter, which was unable to convert the format as wel, due to the fact that they dont support beginning formats of -.prel, as well. So i am within a rock a very very hard place right now. Is there a different program which i could install, which would allow me to convert the premiere videos i have created into another format? i recently downloaded the trial version of premiere pro. I hope this program allows me to take the saved project, and convert it into a usable format. Thanks again for all your assistance hun. Really appreesh it.

Decompile/convert swf to captivate file?

Is there any way to convert or decompile a captivate swf back
to a captivate project file?
I know SWFs can be decompiled to FLAs, is there any other way
around this?
Short story is... I have a corrupt file and want to save as
much work as possible (it was a long presentation).
I've tried to create a blank project of the same size and
importing the slides... but it would not allow me to do that.
Thanks

You can probably use any of the swf decompilers to convert
your swf to
Flash. I've no idea if you can then further convert it to a
Captivate
format - but I'm not aware of a method right now. But once
converted to
Flash you should have access to all your assets.
