For a one-trick pony, it seems rather expensive at $70, even if it does give SWF a thorough treatment. It could at least include FLV, the other flash format.

There are, after all, free video converters, such as Freemake Video Converter, that support a lot more formats and throw some editing into the “price”.

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 10 Pro 64 bit system.

A Chinese company from Shenzen with address and phone.
"Moyea Software is a pioneering multimedia technologies provider specialized in software of audio and video recording, conversion, editing for home users, developers and small businesses. We are committed to promoting media over Internet as well as in daily life. "

We had a former version Moyea SWF to Video Converter Pro on August 9, 2009. Here are the old reviews:
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/moyea-swf-to-video-converter-pro-2/

This isn't the latest software either. The software is from 2011/, this exe from August 2012.

Included is a flash downloader from 2014, the needed codecs are from 2010. You are surely well informed about the future of flash.

A small non resizable window opens, no options to select. You input a SWF file, than the program switches to full window and plays the SWF file.

After export the program window of the SWF player switches to full window (only, due to the nature of this program), plays the file and a screen capture task (I guess) reads the screen output.

This works in my case without problems. A previous SWF tool could not capture this demo video.

Does what it claims. If you need such a tool you can take it. Don't know how long you will get SWF files.
Uninstalled via reboot.

Have much fun with the Win10 installation.

For all you Giveawayoftheday followers that can't wait to get Windows 10 installed read on.

First I apologize to the Moderators for changing the content today but many GAOTD users will like this fix.

If you have tried installing Windows 10 through Windows update and received a failed error code 80240020 follow these instructions EXACTLY.

What this error means is, your Windows 10 installation folder is unfinished and/or corrupted. Now, how do you fix that?
1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in that folder.
2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow". (without quotation marks and don't forget the space BEFORE slash)
3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch.

My computer took about 20 minutes to download and prepare for installation and then you will get a screen that says Windows 10 is ready for installation.

Hope this helps and Yes, DO have fun!!

I doubt that MS's current '10 is the last version of windows ever' will last. It'll either get to bloated and patched to run,or they'll pull one of their periodic debacloes and have to try and recover from it (Notice there's no Win 9?) And that's if their forced 'update' system does'nt turn around and bite them. Given their history for updates that break stuff, there's no way I'm signing on to be an umpaid beta tester for MS and their comporate customers-who will be able to eoll out updates when they choose-and when they've actually been sorta debugged.

What on earth does this have to do with Moyea SWF to Video Converter Standard 4.2.0?

SWF has been obsoleted for videos by Adobe a few years ago (starting with open source licenses), see also [https://]forums.adobe.com/thread/1337070. So this GOTD might help people move on to HTML5, although Google already has a service (Swiffy) for the job. Therefore, if it not for HTML5, an SWF producer already has the video/images files. Then, I conclude, or guess, it's for people like me who has an SWF file lying somewhere in m PC and wants to play it like a video. Hey, wait. PotPlayer can play not only videos but also .swf games natively, so why do I want/need to convert? I don't have the answer, sorry.

This said, it raises a question: how about interactivity? On the web site you can download games for testing purposes. Will converting an swf game allow to play the game? Of course not, because the SWF format includes an engine for interactivity. As a consequence, this product will not convert a dumb flash web site into a "normal" one. But, hey, there is a service for that too: [http://]convert-flash-html5.com/convert-flash-website-free/. On this web site, you'll discover that the conversion is not just a click-and-voilà.

So, here we are again. There are tons of apps converting swf to video, for free (unless you have a particular reason to support the developers). But not so much for more tedious jobs. And it proves a point made countless times here. Microsoft has given (and taken away) tools to create Windows software, as a measure among many others to make believe you can't do/live without MS'OSes. So, because converting is a exercise for students, we have tons of this kind of software. But when it comes to real and hard programming, they all rush to the bar next door for a beer ---not free of course, hence the astonishing $70 for an interface.

Other people have done the hard part: ffmpeg. Amazingly, it is free, like in free beer. All video converters offered here make use of the ffmpeg libraries. So if you want to convert swf to video, download ffmpeg and run this command line (for more options read the doc, run mediainfo to find out video codec):
C:\> fmpeg -i "video.swf" -vcodec mpeg4 "video.mp4" (double quotes for file names is recommended)

Oh, no! No pretty GUI :(. Well, the click-and-voilà laziness has a cost, which is not limited to the price tag by far.

I might be wrong, but I found nothing in the boring marketing verbiage on the developers' web site that would entice me to try the product. After all, it's just another boring video converter.
