  Version: Flash to Video Studio 1.0

  "Keeps audio in sync at 30fps and offers 1-click jpg frame export."

  by poshlust.com on November 24, 2005

  Pros: At 30fps, the audio remained in sync. Yay!

  I tested it on two files:

  1024 x 768 resolution

  Audio in a stream

  30 frames per second/1002 frames encoded in Flash 5 (animated feature film quality)

  12 fps/ 402 frames encoded in Flash 4 (Saturday morning cartoon quality)

  Converted to an AVI using Cinepak Codec by Radius set to color

  MPEG-3 layer compression for audio

  I did not try any MPEG, PAL or NTSC-DVD or any other conversion style available because I would never use them until the final project is edited and ready for DVD. I did not try to convert to a different frame rate or to resize the image. I did not try any "Batch Conversion" or "Search Internet Cache" features.

  If you are just collecting SWF files from the internet and archiving them for personal use so you can play them on your TV, you should be aware that if the original producer of the swf file had the audio set to "event" instead of "stream" NONE of these programs will produce a movie in sync with the audio no matter how you go about it. The "stream" command tells the swf file to drop video frames to keep the audio in sync. If the swf file has a low fps sometimes the audio will appear to sync up with the video in an swf file, but in a frame-for frame export it won't. You will have to export the file in individual frames and delete some by hand then compile, or get a program which will change the length of the audio without changing pitch.

  You can use this program or Amor (essentially the same) to convert properly formatted swf files for DVD. You can also use the 1-click jpg extractor if you are determined to convert an improperly formatted file by compiling individual frames with a program such as Image Video Machine. The jpg frames lost no size or quality. When I compiled them into a video and burned them back-to-back on DVD there was no way to tell the difference.

  Cons: No option to convert just video. Although you can choose to take audio from a file and leave it blank, you still get weird sounds popping into the final AVI, so you will have to mute the audio in your final project when you add your own audio file.
