Need Help!! How to play SWF Files

[rkinaus]

One of my customers gave a Sony Video Player(which records TV Programs on the internal Hard drive). It doesnt work and i got it for data recovery.
I have recovered files from the hard drive. The video files were saved as SWF file. I have tried many applications(including 5 k player, ANy media player, SWF player, Adobe's flash player). It was not playing in any of those. I have manually changed the extension to mp4 as suggested by one of the other threads, Tried VLC player. Nothing really worked.
Can anyone give an idea how to open. I tried even ffmpeg remuxing(i am not expert may be i am doing something wrong in remuxing process.(I tried following one of the moderator's thread)

Pls help me. I have attached mediainfo for reference.

Rgds,

Don't know if it still works as .SWF files are an obsolete file format and I haven't got any to try. But I use to just drop the file on an open web browser window to play them, worth a try.

Sounds like the files are corrupted,post a a text pasted file of the mediainfo data,not a saved file.

either the files are corrupted or encrypted, might try converting the files with ffmpeg - ffmpeg -i source.swf out.mp4

jpexs flash decompiler may work

The official Adobe stand alone Flash player is still available here:

If it doesn't work then your files are either broken or encrypted.

...or maybe they're not Shockwave Flash videos. Are we sure a Sony hardware player would be saving anything in Shockwave Flash format?
