Flash To Anything Else

[babgolis]

I have some flash files I want to be able to watch on my TV. So I tried using Quicktime pro export to avi & divx avi, to no avail. The video comes out crappy & there is no audio. Same thing with toast exporting to dvd, still no audio, quality crappy. I'm not too familiar with the format of .swf files & no program I can find can find the audio. The unaltered files playback perfectly, audio etc. in quicktime, however. I thought QT would be able to handle the export. I guess I don't know where the audio portion of the animation is.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Why not use a program such as wiretap to capture the audio. If quicktime opens it you should be able to export the video to anything.

Try exporting to another format in QuickTime, and see if the audio gets transcoded. Try DVCPro format, so you can import it into iMovie and iDVD and stuff.

Thanks, I'll try your suggestions when I get home from work.

What is still puzzling me is that when I try to find the audio portion of the file, there doesn't seem to be one. Yet the damn thing plays perfectly in QT.

If you're willing to use the commandline, ffmpeg can extract,
convert audio from swf files. QuickTime won't.

yeh i think the best way to do it for any normal user is just cap the audio with either wiretap or audiohijack, export the video in qt to mov or dv or something (stay away from avi.. that is more the universal format to convert to on pcs, not macs) Syncing may be a real pain i've tried to convert some flash files b4 and it wasnt easy...
