swf2avi0.3

swf2avi is a simple yet very useful application that can convert SWF files into videos without wasting users' time with fancy settings and long configuration processes.

Simple layout

The main window might look surprising at first glance, since you are welcomed by a big grey screen, but that's the place where the app will later display the SWF file you wish to convert.In addition, there are also some useful details at the bottom of the screen, including the conversion process elapsed time, the estimated time left, as well as file resolution and frames.

Several configuration settings

It may all seem like a simple job when opening the app, but there's a detailed settings dialog hidden under the Extras menu.This allows you to choose the file format (in case you want to convert the SWF file into bitmap sequences), the frame range, the output filename. You can also choose whether to ignore the lost frames and disable resolution check.

Get info about your PC

In case for one reason or another you need a System Info tool when working with such a file converter, swf2avi has that covered, so you can get some useful information regarding your computer while waiting for the conversion process to end.

Performance

The time you'll spend waiting for the AVI file to get born is minimal, but this obviously depends on the size of your SWF file and also on computer resources. Truth is, the app doesn't stress the system much, but you may notice some slowdowns especially when working with large files.

Finally

In conclusion, swf2avi is nothing more than a decent conversion utility, but it still remains an attractive solution since it comes as a very light and easy-to-use package.
