Would anyone be able to recommend an app for swf to FLV conversion that can accommodate batch processing?
I’ve looked at a number of products and it seems the swf to video conversion is not handled very gracefully. By this I mean, in the 4-5 applications I’ve tested, the conversion is not direct – the user would first have to convert their swf to a format like AVI, or a QuickTime Movie, and then convert to FLV. What I’ve observed is that the apps actually grab/record the users’ desktop for the duration of the runtime of the swf and from that produce the resulting file. The apps have crop settings that allow the user to set the resulting files stage size to that of the swf being recorded, eliminating excess from showing up in the final file.
I guess the process they use is ok for one off’s, but in situations where batch processing needs to be employed this wont work simply because the stage size for the files being duplicated all vary. None of these apps allow for a dynamic adjustment of that very important setting.
So I’m left here wondering if anyone produces conversion apps that function in much the same way the conversion apps for video to FLV do.
Anyone have advice?
Thanks.
