An acquaintance created a series of screen-capture and audio-narration video tutorials that produced SWF files, and would now like to post them to YouTube, which doesn't appear to accept the SWF format. Often these sorts of Flash files just embed an flv or mp4 video file with a player. If that's the case you could extract the video file with the swfextract utility in the swftools package from rpmfusion. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

If ffmpeg can play/input the SWF by itself, then you should be able to use it to transcode the SWF by itself. mplayer can play SWF files, and it's partner mencoder can be used to transcode media files. VLC can (or did when I tried yonks ago) also play and transcode. There are various Firefox plugins that can download and convert flash videos, if your files are on a webserver it ought to be able to do it for you. Perhaps even if they're locally loaded files. Though you'll probably need to write a webpage to go around them. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 17 16:32:11 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
