Would you have a lot of SWF files that you can’t access on any media player outside of a Flash player? If you did, then you landed on the right page. Today, in this final blog post, we’ll give you a step-by-step process that you can use to convert SWF to MP4.

Since MP4 is a common and widely used video format, it’s best to convert all your SWF files to MP4 files.

But sometimes the conversion affects the quality of the video, so we suggest that you use the SWF converter mentioned in this article. But before that, I’d like to introduce you to the word SWF. So, we’re moving here:

What’s the SWF format?

SWF is a widely used extension used to construct animated videos with an adobe flash player. The files that are generated with this extension can be played on a player that has the Flash plugin enabled.

It may include audio, video, graphics and interactive content written in Actionscript. This format is also a very common way to deliver quality browser games. Because the SWF files are written in Actionscript, they are not intended to be modified.

You need to edit the original FLA file to change the SWF file. I hope you now have a clear understanding of the expansion of the SWF. So, let’s switch to the next section where you’ll learn how to convert SWF to MP4 format.

VLC is an open source media player that allows you to play and convert files to different formats. It can also convert SWF files to different file formats, but we only need to convert SWF to MP4 format. Here are the steps you can take to convert SWF files to MP4 files:
