Hi...
I have already install this one ,
But unit i can't convert swf to mp4.H
Here is my script :
ffmpeg -i video.swf -vcodec mpeg4 video.mp4

Do you get any error messages?

<?php
exec('fmpeg -i video.swf -vcodec mpeg4 video.mp4', $output);
print_r($output);
?>

SWF is not a valid video format. You must obtain the FLV or F4V file before attempting to convert with ffmpeg.

We have successfully converted many Flash videos with both ffmpeg and also the Adobe Media Encoder.

As for SWF, it is a bytecode file to be interpreted by the Tamarin virtual machine (e.g., in a Flash player debugger or plugin).

There is any possibility to convert swf to flv using ffmpeg just because i really need it ?
If any one have any idea then please tell me about this problem as soon as possible .

As Pritaeas asked, did you got errors?

Maybe I'm missing a point, but I'm taking some samples from here and it seems I can convert swf files without any problems, both with ffmpeg and avconv:

ffmpeg -i source.swf out.mp4
avconv -i source.swf -b 128k output.mp4

Also you can list supported formats and codecs by using -formats and -codecs:

ffmpeg -formats |grep -i swf
 DE swf             Flash format

ffmpeg -codecs | grep -i swf
 DEA D  adpcm_swf       ADPCM Shockwave Flash

Below each command there is the expected output. Are you using Windows?

I got This kind of error.....

What version are you are using?

It seems like your the version and configuration details is not matching up?

Are you using this:

https://ffmpeg.org/download.html

Have you tried ffmpeg -i sample.swf sample.mp4?

I also used to use a little piece of software called Faasoft SWF to MP4 Converter to convert SWF to MP4, happy with it.
