How to Convert SWF Files to a Movie

SWF files are flash files that are perfect for use on websites or in short animations for the web. SWF files are much smaller than typical movie files, which means that they don't slow down the loading of a webpage the way a movie file would, and take up less space on the server. If you want to use an SWF file in an arena that only reads movie files, though, such as burning the file to DVD or using the file in video editing software, convert your SWF files to a movie.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Download Anvsoft Flash to Video Converter. Anvsoft is a popular software for converting flash to video. Open the file and follow the setup screens to install the program on your computer.

2. Upload the SWF file to the converter. Click "File", browse for the file and select it.

3. Click "Option" to change output settings. Select your file type next to "Profile". You can convert the file into many popular movie file types, such as an MP4 or MP3 player or mobile phone, or an AVI or MPEG if you will be burning it to DVD or VCD.

4. Choose the "Codec for Recording". This is available on the "Option" screen. "DivX" is a small-size codec that works in most MP3 players and plays in many popular DVD player brands.

5. Press "Record". The progress of the conversion will be monitored on the screen.
