How to convert Shockwave Flash to MP4 with Free MP4 Video Converter How to convert Shockwave Flash to MP4 with Free MP4 Video Converter

Shockwave Flash (commonly known as SWF) is a multimedia format that is created using the famous Adobe Flash application. This type of file is used not only for storing video data, but also animations, vector graphics, programs created using ActionScript or even browser games (known as Flash games). However, SWF files are not as widely-supported as other media formats when talking about video playback. A solution to deal with that problem is simply converting them to MP4, a very popular video format, that is supported by almost all video players and editors as well as various hand-held devices (mobile phones).

I will demonstrate the conversion process using Free MP4 Video Converter 5.0 (Freeware) by DVDVideoSoft Limited, because it is one of the most popular applications used for turning Shockwave Flash files into the MP4 format. You can even use this tool to convert multiple files at once (batch convert) and save you time when dealing with a large movie collection.

You might want to pay extra attention during the installation as this program will try to download and install additional adware software. If you don't want that, you must select "Custom installation" and uncheck the box.
