How to Convert a SWF to AVI on a Mac
The Small Web Format (SWF, pronounced "Swiff") is an animation created using Adobe's Flash software. SWF files are typically used for Web-based animations and interactive content. The AVI (Audio Video Interleave) container is a high-quality video format, which is typically less compressed than most comparable videos. Converting from SWF to AVI on a Mac is best done with a free online conversion service.
