SWF conversion for M6 with audio : Freewares only

converting Shockwave Flash videos for the M6 can be very simple or get tricky

For the simple case (the more often) it is straightforward , and we do have some full --freeware solutions

one is using any SWF freeware Ressource tool (decompiler) to extract the sound track ( generally an mp3 file ) , the second is using the Audacity audio freeware and capture the stereo mix coming from your soundcard ; since Audacity is yet also a powerful sound editor as well it is rather very easy to get a perfect duration soundtrack setting correct begin/end points ; that is a duration that simply matches the video part ...

this one (swf animation to avi ) is also easy to get with any adhoc freeware ; Swf2Avi is a good simple candidate , for instance

then use Vdub or any other software you are confortable with for your M6 videos

so here is the simple SWF case (uno exotische medley btw !) :

the SWF source : MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
the M6 .avi file : MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

(some audio capture glitches I know coming from my ...Terratec DMX6 Fire which makes me mad given its reputation ! a known bug of this sound card ; anyway the Hi-Fi aspect is not the point here )

now the bad SWF case ...

if we get some interactive SWF file with such kind of below action script , we are in trouble with recording the audio playback since when the SWF animation stops (at a given frame) , heck...Audacity keeps recording ! so can we use a Ressource tool and get the full mp3 audio ? not sure at all ...since it may simply not match the "animation duration" , according to the Action Script ; for instance , interactive entries getting to different sound parts upon your answer ; in the end this produces a longer sound track than the strict 'linear' duration of the animation

not to mention that there are here even two sound tracks : a musical short one at the begining ( the vibraphone intro) and then the main dialog soundtrack

so unless you are willing to edit furiously such SWF file ( il will take long !) you better give up , imho

here is such a 'tricky' SWF case : MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

I would have loved to have the courage to edit this one for the M6, since these characters are quite funny (imho) ; it's old stuff , some 8 years ago I would say

now , fortunately, many Flash/Swf animation are easy to transcode for the Meizu M6 , since they only feature a given number of images/frames and one sound track ; both we can extract with free softwares

maybe it's time to recall that you can get SWF animations on your M6 , as .avi videos, using simple (freeware ) solutions

basically via SWF2AVI as for transforming an .swf file to an AVI image file , and either Audacity to get the audio mix of your PC card or (better) any available .swf decompiler which will extract the original .mp3 soundtrack (one, most of the time)

then it is very straigthforward to get an .swf animation to your M6

for instance this ad' may appeal to your kid , or even ...to you , lol

the original site with the ad' : vente-privee.com
direct link to swf: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

(for the speedy ones here is the final .avi ! MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service )

so here how you do :

1) you get the .swf file from your browser cache

2) you export it as an AVI (video only) file using SWF2AVI

SWF AVI Convert - Free Flash to Video Batch Converter - Homepage

here you may have to guess the better resize ratio which ends in... cropping (!) the bottom here , great ! no need to go though painful tweaking from the swf decompiler

3) you get your soundtrack either way you favor ; you may have to tweak the appropriate duration to match any new image frame rate you favor ;
I did this here since I used of 25fps ( could have used 20 or 30 anyway , or the orginal frame rate)

4) the easy part : encode all this in VDub

and here it is : MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (800Ko)

( it is here a PC version, with no rotation and 25fps ; would indeed be very easy to encode it according to M6 requirements )

guess Batman could easily add it to its features

still ... remember that swf animations can also be complex and then a straight conversion would fail ; and getting a correct conversion can turn to some nightmare , according to the complexity of the script ; luckily many such ads' are rather simple; enjoy

>> guess Batman could easily add it to its features

oops, just thought of it and wondered why it was not yet available ; guess it has to do with getting audio out some 'easy' way ; possibly ...

there maybe somewhere out there some obscure swf2wav !?

Hi, you revive an old topic here. I have had no luck with the audio part when I tried to find appropriate software for converting swf. If you can somehow assemble a batch that can do the trick, I can make a batman plugin out of it.
Unfortunately, I don't have much spare time at the moment (project Daughter1.0 ..)
