E.M. Magic Swf2Avi

E.M. Magic Swf2Avi is a video processing tool which allows you to turn Flash Video files (SWF) into other formats, such as HD video (e.g. HD-FLV, HD-MOV), AVI (e.g. lossless AVI, H264 AVI) and MPEG (e.g. DVD MPEG).

But it can also prepare videos for mobile phones (e.g. iPad, iPhone, iPod) or turn them into pictures (e.g. BMP, PNG, JPEG, TGA), as well as extract the audio stream and save it to MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC and other file types.

You can create a new task by importing files from the hard drive into the list via the file browser or folder view.

Processing multiple items at the same time is possible. You can add the IE, Firefox or Opera cache. If you are satisfied with the default settings, then you can immediately proceed with the conversion procedure after establishing the output profile.

Otherwise, you can select the decoder and output mode (auto, interactive with one or two compression levels), as well as configure audio and video settings in regard to the channel mode, sample rate, bit rate, volume level, frame rate, aspect ratio, resize mode, cropping and padding.

Plus, you can disable either the audio or video stream. These options can be reloaded to their default values. Other features of E.M. Magic Swf2Avi allow you to preview clips in a built-in media player and trim them by marking the start and end position.

The program runs on a high amount of CPU and system memory, is pretty responsive to keyboard and mouse events, and takes a reasonable amount of time to complete a task. The output videos have a fair image and sound quality. We have not come across any issues during our tests; E.M. Magic Swf2Avi did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. The video conversion tool should satisfy users of any experience level.
