How to Convert SWF to MOV

SWF, short for Shockwave Flash, was created and developed by Macromedia. Adobe then purchased Macromedia and SWF is available from the acquiring company now. The format was created to be small enough to publish animations and vector graphics on the Internet. SWF files can be played using Adobe Flash Player either through the standalone program or as a browser plug-in in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Opera.
