How to Convert SWF to FLV using MediaProSoft Free Video Converter

Even though both FLV and SWF are Adobe Flash formats, there is a difference between them. First of all, FLV is the format used for storing Flash video files, while SWF is a published media file that can store not only videos, but also games, animations and other applications created using ActionScript. We can safely state that, if you want to deliver videos over the Internet or simply store movies on your computer using a Flash format, FLV is the best choice, as it is a format specially designed for this purpose and the main file type used by video sharing websites like Youtube. Simply put, if you want to share animated vector graphics over the Internet, you should use the SWF format and, if you want to deliver videos, FLV is the obvious choice.

Converting your SWF files to FLV format can prove to be a good idea, not only when sharing movies online, but also if you want to reduce the file size of SWF files containing video data, as FLV uses a lossy compression method while SWF is lossless.

For demonstrating the conversion process, I have chosen MediaProSoft Free Video Converter 7.2 (Freeware), designed by MediaProSoft Co., Ltd., because of its good reputation, stylish interface and very high conversion speed.
