1 - Install the above programs as they are listed. Once installed continue to step two. Note: Flash Saving plug-in will install a button on the toolbar in IE.
2 - Go to your favorite flash site (atomfilms.com, homestarrunner.com, etc). Click on the Flash you would like to save to your PC. Let it load up and start playing. Once it's playing, click on the icon on the toolbar. For more details on how to save flash movies please refer to link which has a straightforward explanation.
3 - Once you have the flash movie saved on your PC the next step is to convert it to a format that can be accepted by PSPvideo9, 3gp converter, etc. For this we will use Magic SWF2AVI. It’s the cheapest app that I have found and it works. The only gripe I have is that it’s too slow.
4 - After you have installed Magic SWF2AVI, open it up and click the options button. Select your compression settings if applicable, and then click the directory tab. Here you will select where you want to save your finished AVIs. Then click 'add files' and locate the .swf file you wish to convert. Click convert to AVI and go entertain yourself elsewhere until the conversion completes. Depending on the size of your .swf file the conversion time will vary. While I have been successful in converting my flash movies I haven’t had time to survey the time it takes to convert different sized files. This you will have to determine for yourself.
5 - Now we need yet again convert it into a format the PSP can accept. Once the file is fully converted from flash to AVI, load it into PSPvideo9 with the proper profile settings. See the PSPvideo9’s help and forum section on how to properly set up your profiles for encoding different aspect ratios (which as far as I can tell is the only factor you will need to consider when deciding on a profile). For the most part you can use the pre-loaded –Anime (0-2hr)- profile, which is preset for 16x9 content. You can change this by tweaking the profiles. See the PSPvideo9’s forums or help guide for details on how to do that.
6 - Now that you have saved, converted to AVI and then converted to MP4, it is time to upload the MP4 file to your PSP. PSPvideo9 has a built in media manger so you can use this method or you can use Windows Explorer.
7 - Finally the last and most important step -- ENJOY!!
Notes
Magic SWF2AVI is a nice program that gets the job done. There are other apps out there that do the same thing but are 2-3 times more expensive. So if you like the app then buy it, besides you only have about 15-days to do so. Also, if anyone has found a FREE app that converts SWF to AVI then please let us know.
PSP I discovered only plays videos at the 30fps and 14.9.... fps. So when the fps does not match it uses the 30 or 15fps. Not sure which but know that wrong frame rates will get a playback rate you won't like.
Im wondering if i could put in mortal spoofbat from laughing my ass off? It's under flashmovies butit has something where u have to choose a character. Helpmeplz sum1.
Ok guyz I loaded the ebonics lesson (tried others but they didnt work) but the thing was HUGE it was like 756 mb and the video and music were separate. HLP PLZ?
kariudo said: "Dont waste your money. Quiktime can open swf/flash files. So you could just export it from quicktime directly to MP4, yes I have tried this and it works."
Only quicktime pro can export video into different video types
Its not working for me when I convert it to avi using 3gp and then convert it to mp4 and transfer it to my psp using psp video 9 I see it on my psp. But then when I try to watch it says "This video cannot be played".
