How to Convert SWF to AVI with SWF to AVI How to Convert SWF to AVI with SWF to AVI

Shockwave Flash, also known as SWF (named after its filename extension) is a multimedia format that is primarily used for delivering videos, animations and other vector graphics created using Adobe Flash over the Internet. All you need to do in order to view this type of file using your web browser is to install the Flash plug-in. However, even if SWF files are pretty common on the online environment, there aren't that many applications that can locally play these files. That's why converting them into a popular video format, such as AVI (a format supported by almost all video players on Windows-based computers), is a good idea if you plan to keep your videos or animations on local hard drives. You might also want to turn your SWF files into AVI videos if you want to transfer your Flash media to gaming consoles such as XBox or PlayStation, or to Windows-based mobile phones.
