I would like to convert some swf video files to either xvid or mpeg4 avi. Is there any converter available for this in debian? Or even a non-deb file? Windows versions for one, ask $$ and then need to play and capture each file to record and convert. Too much time consuming.
Check the "new" packages from the past week or so. There was a package called swf-tools or something similar that was just uploaded to SID that had a number of command line tools for manipulating SWFs, and you might be able to use something from that package in conjunction with FFmpeg or Mplayer to get what you want.
You might need the repository from www.debian-multimedia.org, espeically if you want to deal in patent-encumbered algorithms.
