what is the best program to capture videos from a SWF file
 

have a flash file someone sent over to us to make
it has about 8 videos inside of it...what is the best way to get them out?

tried sothink.com decompiler...doesnt seem to do anything.

thanks

Check one of the chat boards where they rip sites all the time. they will tell you

Why not contact the person who made the swf and just ask for the videos?

Oh wait, they might ask you to pay $50.

Forget paying for anything right?

:1orglaugh

i dont understand what you are saying...i pay for all software
i bought sothink today...and it was garbage.

im doing this for a client....the client is for some reason unable to get the videos from the people who made them.
thus im looking to get the videos out myself.

thanks for implying im some sort of thief though

that is awesome

Probably convert to something that a normal clip editor can handle. Is there swf to avi or something out there?

I'm not implying anything except that you are trying to decompile something that the
original guy can just give you. But oh the horror if he charges $50 for labor.

Also decompiling an swf is considered copyright infringement by some legal experts.

Don't hate the messenger, hate the message.

:2 cents:

It's not garbage.

People have started to encrypt their swf files so that sothink can not correctly decompile them.

you have no idea what you are talking about in this situation
and since sothink says they decompile swf to extract the videos

then they are worthless...since it cant be used for what they are selling it for

Read the post above yours.

Sothink is a program that programmers are trying to defeat.

You are having a problem but you don't want to hear why you have the problem.

thanks Gabe...we tried a screen capture already...the quality wasn't what i want though.
