FlashVideo Converter

Program does not work effectively and there is no product support. Tried to convert a 356 kb swf file and the program spit out a 6gb (yes, gb) mov file. Tried it with two other files trying mp4 and other options but the outputs were all huge. I emailed support and over the past several weeks sent repeated request for help. No emails or support requests were ever answered. No support and terrible product execution. I do NOT recommend.

Hi.......I have also used [url=http://www.flvconvertermacosx.com]FLV Coverter mac os x[/url] software which is really an amazing tool. With the help of this software I became able to convert .flv video to another format without any loss of video quality. Also, this software is very easy to handle and even the people having no technical knowledge can also convert the flv videos in any format they want. Today, I am very happy and enjoying my favorite videos on Mac OS X.

$100? This is a joke, right?

No original resolution (dimensions) selection? Judging from the screenshot here that's really bad. I don't' want it resized as well as converted necessarily.. everyone knows resizing is usually bad idea. How good is the resizing algorithm? Furthermore, as mentioned here by another person, if it only screenrecords a Flash file into a Quicktime mov I can do that free already using Camtasia, which I have done before. Then, I can capture at original size and encode with Camtasia into whatever format I want for editing.

A shame Macvide FlashVideo Converter 3.6 does NOT work as promised. It does NOT converts swf to mov files. It just makes a screen capture of the movie. The consequence is that the mov files are much, much, much larger than the original swf ones. For instance, a mere 36 kb swf file becomes a whopping 26 MB file!!! (using version 1.9) and still a large 5 MB (using the latest 3.6 version). SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on you, Macvide. That is not fair to treat your customers like that!!! Tip: until a TRUE swf to mov converter is found, you will get much better results (read smaller files) using Ambrosia Snapz Pro X screep capture utility to capture the movies and save them as mov (in this example the movie generated was 3 MB). SO, ANYONE KNOWS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO GENERATE THE SMALLEST MOV FILES (as similar in size to the original swf file as possible)? Thanks.

The support forum for this developer is full of messages asking for help with problems. They never receive a response. I have posted two messages for support and never received a response, even though I have posted follow ups to bump the messages to the top. Like the other commenters have said, this program should be avoided.

I tried it only because of the d.... SWF files. But it doesn't CONVERT them, it just makes screen recording of them! (I have other programs to do that).

You would be well advised NOT to buy this program. I have not been able to get it to work. All I see is a blue background and no movie preview nor conversion. Emails to the developer are ignored.
