Avi to SWF converter

[Survivor]

I need a free avi to swf converter which doesn't watermark the result. No luck finding one though there are a lot that go the other way. Or maybe there's a virtualdub plugin i don't know about.

Haven't used it, but try this one:

It linked to ffmpeg which is a commandline utility. Although bothersome for future (windows) reference:
put the .exe in the folder of the .avi (or any supported format)
start up cmd.exe and navigate to that folder.
use the following commandline in that folder.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg.exe  -i namemovie.currentextension -sameq namemovie.extension wanted

dropping the -sameq reduces filesize a lot, but also degrades quality.

btw, thanks obsidian.

Except that the free part of that one doesn't output to swf.

can't you just upload to youtube, then you a grabber to get the swf, then delete the online version later?

[Survivor]

youtube is flv, not swf.
Note: i completed the conversion already by the mentioned method.

I think any SWF that uses video contains an FLV file. So what you really need to look for is a program that can output FLV, and some SWF code to contain and play that FLV. The only type of SWF I know of that doesn't use FLV for its video is the kind that uses the vectors that Flash (the F in SWF) allows to create an animation.

Use an flv encoder, turn it into an flv, open flash and add the flv to the libary, then drag the flv onto the stage, and publish... is there a specific reason you need it to be .swf?
