How to convert SWF to QuickTime files freely
Recent versions of QuickTime haven't been able to open SWF files. For days, I've been searching for a way to convert a SWF animation to a QuickTime movie without having to downgrade QuickTime. Then I remembered -- I already have an old version of QuickTime on my system in Classic! Sure enough, the Classic version of QuickTime both opened the SWF and converted it into a QuickTime movie.

movies using Classic.
You'll need to have Quicktime Pro in Classic to make it work, and newer versions of Flash are probably not compatible with the older version of QuickTime."
I think this is because Quicktime used to support swf files (up to version 3 or 5 or something, I don't recall at this point). Yes, it won't work on newer swf files. The last time I tried it I gave up and ended up using the Snapz pro demo to capture the swf. Pain in the !@#$ to convert swfs, but Snapz worked well. The biggest downfalls were the realtime capture and lining up the capture window. Anybody know of a better swf to quicktime conversion program, speak up...
And Also someone said, yes this indeed a very annoying issue. I used to use lots of SWF for Vjing using Modul8......like 100's.....i had to convert them all after the 7.3 update to MOVS. Luckily i had an ageing PBG4 lying around which had QT 7.2 on it. It converted the files fine to MOVS ( used Animation Codec for Alphas and PJPEG for colour SWFs)
I hope someone can write a QT plugin that can playback SWF, unlikely i know. Also trying to downgrade to QT7.2 using pacifist hosed my system good and proper....so don't advise this.
Apple once again have annoyed me and many other people by "quietly" removing features and adding unstable elements to QT. My MP4 playback is really bad stutters when it plays backwards and a whole host of other issues.
There are some programs for PC that do batch conversions, still yet to find a mac native program that does the job.
Since Quicktime removed Flash playback in the most recent (so-called) update, I'm at a bit of a loss. I now need to convert SWF files into some sort of format Quicktime can read. I've tried using Visualhub to convert the SWF to DV, AVI, MPG and FLV, but every time I get an error. I presume it's because the current Quicktime codec doesn't support the SWF format, but maybe I'm doing something wrong...
Anyone have any suggestions for how I can convert a SWF file into something compatible with Quicktime 7.3.1?
