Both SWF and FLV are Flash formats. Their small size makes them one of the most used video formats for the Internet. However, sometimes FLV is preferred over SWF, mainly when you need to stream long videos over the net. iPixSoft SWF to FLV converter can help you re-encode video from SWF to FLV, in case you need to upload a video to YouTube, for instance.
With a wizard-like interface, the program will take you through a series of tabs that represent every stage of the conversion process. In each of these, you can enter the information needed for a successful conversion. Just after you select the source file, the program starts previewing it. In addition, you can edit the clip with such basic actions as watermarking and cropping. The application allows converting to a predefined profile, which can be slightly modified to use customized frame rate, bitrate and video size. The source audio track can be kept as it is. However, you can also use another track from an external file or you can choose to use no audio whatsoever.
In general, iPixSoft SWF to FLV Converter can do its job right. However, it has some limitations. Unfortunately, the range of supported input and output formats is too narrow. In fact, as we have seen, only one input format and one output format are supported. This is due to this program’s being a reduced version of a more versatile converter, named IPixSoft SWF to Video Converter. Another limitation is that the program does not allow processing batches of files, so in case you are planning to convert various SWF files using the same target parameters, you will need to go through the whole process for each of these files. Another inconvenience is the price. In my opinion, the software is too pricey for a product having so many limitations.
