flash .swf .swi to avi or mpg

[mjbower]

anyone got any ideas how to convert flash animations to mpg or avi ?

Yes! I have successfully done it using RAD Tools.
You can use it to convert your .SWF file to an .AVI , then reconvert to MPEG. It is freeware, and can be found here:

its pretty straightforward to use it. -
it makes for cool VCD\SVCD intros

Did you get RAD Video Tools to convert SWF -> AVI *with sound*? Or it does Video only?

Now that you mention it - i think i just converted the video portion with RAD and used TOTAL RECORDER for the audio...then encoded/muxed in TMPEG.
You may have to try a few trick to sync sound, it depends on your source i guess. TMPEG is pretty good about changing framerates and keeping up sync. I havent had that problem though.

I've got Rad Tools but can't up the *.swf format in it?

Here's the best method:
1. Create your movie in flash
2. Go to File>Export Movie
3. Under save as type choose Windows Avi
4. Convert the avi to mpeg in TMPGEnc
I hope that was of help to you,
