No Frame Drop! Convert SWF to AVI with Moyea SWF to Video Converter

Maybe you have an easy experience of converting between different video file formats, e.g. FLV to AVI. But if you want to convert SWF to AVI, or any other video format, your experience will be much trickier. Because SWF is different from common videos like AVI, MP4, though in a broad sense it can be categorized to the video group. Now follow me and learn something SWF in one shot.

So, what is special of SWF?

SWF is a container format for Flash animation, which accounts for a really large portion of web page animation today. To tell from AVI and MP4, the video formats we see everyday, SWF has additional unparalleled trait that allows for interactivity with the audience. It introduces ActionScript, a programming language, to make interactivity possible. So it could be a cartoon movie with triggers to end up with different plots, or a chess game smart enough to beat human player. Such SWF is called Flash application or Flash game. To wrap up, SWF has two characteristics: one resembles the linear data stream of AVI and MP4, the other caters to myriad interactivity that leads to unpredictable branchy data stream.

What is the tricky part?

It seems tricky enough to convert Flash applications or Flash game to video format. A media player like Windows Media Player is not a qualified game console at all. But it is possible to make a video of how you win the game or lose. So this can make sense. Nevertheless, the really tricky part is that the frame rate of SWF while playing is not constant. When the scene is very complex, insufficient CPU resources might skip some frames and render a very stumbling display: frame drop. If you let some normal screen capture software to handle the conversion, this annoying phenomenon will definitely go through SWF to AVI conversion to recur in the AVI video.

The solution?

Therefore, to handle this tricky frame drop problem, the software must be able to slow down the frame rate to let the CPU render every frame, so that the entire SWF can be re-encoded into AVI or MP4 without frame drop to ensure an exact recurrence. And we are talking about the original technology of Moyea SWF to Video Converter. This professional SWF to Video Converter can convert SWF of any complexity level without frame drop to any popular video formats we know today: AVI, MP4, MPG, MOV, FLV, MKV, 3GP, WMV, etc. So here finishes the introduction, let’s take a look at how to convert SWF to AVI with Moyea SWF to Video Converter; you can download a trial copy of Moyea SWF to Video Converter.

This SWF to Video Converter is professional yet straight forward in operation. It divides the conversion operation into three steps: Input, Export and Convert.

In Input step, click the “Add” button to input SWF files from various locations: folder, Moyea Free Flash Downloader, IE cache, URL or Flash Projector. If you get used to drag and drop action, feel free to do so as the fastest way to input SWF files to the program. There are not many buttons on the interface; let me fill you in fast.

“Switch to single/batch mode“: when switching to single mode, you can choose to manually control the interactive SWF to perform a “video recording”. When in batch mode, no manual control is available; therefore the SWF will be processed as a linear frame flow.

“Add“, “Remove“, “Clear“: buttons to manage the input list.

“Crop“: to cut a rectangular area of the SWF to convert, as well as to add an image watermark.

“Capture“: capture a screenshot when playing the SWF in the build-in SWF player.

“Open“: open the folder where the screenshot files and the converted video files are kept.

In Export step, you will face the essential parameters for SWF to Video conversion: format/style, video quality, audio quality and output folder.

“Style“: contain up to 100 different optimal profiles for popular formats and devices.

“Video Quality/Audio Quality“: shortcuts for two same parameters in “Settings” dialog.

“Settings“: advanced video codec settings, click to view the details.

“Export To/Locate“: the output folder where the converted videos are kept.

“Rip Audio/Locate“: rip the audio in SWF separately to a specified folder.

“Conversion Mode“: switch to Manual mode for interactive SWF such as Flash application, Flash slideshow and Flash game to review the desired content. Switch to Always forward mode for linear SWF, the Flash animation without any ActionScript control.

In Convert step, if you want to convert from the very beginning point, click “Play and Capture“. If you want to convert from another time stamp, click “Play Movie” to play the SWF until you decide to “Start Capture“. When you are done, click “Finish” to end recording and start the video conversion with parameters set by previous step.

Afterwards, the destination folder will pop up with the converted video file selected. Check for yourself to see if Moyea SWF to Video Converter lives up to common expectations: no frame drop, no picture distortion, no capturing delay. Yet there are more buttons and dialog boxes to explore beyond margins of this article. Joining those additional settings and features, you will make your SWF to Video conversion practice really flexible and enjoyable!

Major differences you should know between the iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS

Ever since June, 2007, Apple has debuted three generations of iPhone, marking the advancement of this miraculous invention annually. The iPhone 2G, the first generation of iPhone, introduced the first and the only mobile device exclusively made by Apple. A year later, the iPhone 3G upgrades transmitting module to meet faster 3G mobile network. In June, 2009, the latest iPhone 3GS sees breakthrough on performance and speed. Needless to say, the newer is the better. If you are preparing to purchase an iPhone, or you want to know your iPhone better, come with us to review the differences between the iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS.

How to identify iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS?

Basically, the iPhone 2G has a distinctive aluminum back casing with a black strip on the bottom, while the iPhone 3G and 3GS features a smooth glass plastic back lid either in black or white. The iPhone 3G’s and 3GS’s back lids are fashionably rounded and slightly extend out further than that of the iPhone 2G. To speak of build quality, iPhone 2G is no doubt the winner.

Functional comparison between iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS

Although they are one year apart, the iPhone 2G and the iPhone 3G share basic hardware configurations like the CPU, RAM, GPU and camera, except 3G connectivity and GPS modules which the iPhone 2G lacks. If you have your iPhone 2G jailbroken, you can access external GPS device via Bluetooth with third-party apps. But for 3G accessibility, you need an iPhone 3G or 3GS.

Practically, the iPhone 2G still supports the newest iPhone OS 3.1 and most apps, but some apps developed to take advantage of 3G network won’t run on the iPhone 2G any more. As 3G technology is quickening its pace of dominating mobile communication, the iPhone 2G will not hold much edges against its older brother, the iPhone 3G, not to mention the iPhone 3GS. Let’s see some compare charts and screenshots to get a clear picture of the differences, or specifically, the evolution.

CPU & GPU Performance:

The iPhone 3GS’s S stands for "Speed": CPU, RAM, GPU and camera are all upgraded. With higher frequency, double internal cache, double RAM capacity and enhanced GPU capability, the iPhone 3GS extends extraordinary performance and can accommodate complex, CPU-stressed apps such as 3D games. As you can see in the charts below, the iPhone 3GS tops all three ranks.

CPU Performance Test for floating-point calculation

CPU Performance Test for Web Browser JavaScript Execution

GPU Speed Test for Rendering 1/10 Million Objects

RAM:

What is the tangible benefit brought by doubled RAM size? It is huge.

This is a test conducted on the iPhone 2G and 3GS. The gauge represents the current RAM usage of the iPhone at the same status. Although on the right the app doesn’t change the threshold to match 3GS’s actual RAM size, it clearly indicates there is still 120.30MB, almost half of the RAM, available while 2G’s RAM is pitifully about exhausted. Perhaps the poor margin of RAM in the iPhone 2G/3G can account for the absence of multitasking. Even if we do have multitasking ability, there won’t be enough RAM to run tasks simultaneously and smoothly at all. But for 3GS, with an app called "background", we can listen to music, log on to IM apps and browse the web without interruption. The potential of the iPhone 3GS will be further exploited in the next iPhone OS 4.0.

Camera:

The iPhone 2G and 3G share the same camera with video capability disabled; however, the function can be revived by jailbreaking the iPhone, though it is not suggested by Apple. The new camera installed on the iPhone 3GS has competitive 3 Megapixels, compared to 2 Megapixels of its predecessor. The white balance of 3GS’s camera is improved to present real environmental color. The iPhone 3GS also enables unprecedented auto-focus feature with an ingenuous tap-to-focus interface.

Network Speed on iPhone 2G, 3G & 3GS

3G Network vs. EDGE Network

As for connectivity, the iPhone 2G only supports EDGE network. EDGE network runs at 384 Kbps bandwidth, almost 11 times slower than 3G network supported by the iPhone 3G/3GS.

iPhone 3G (3.5Mbps HSDPA) vs. iPhone 3GS (7.2Mbps HSDPA)

The iPhone 3GS further upgrades its connectivity capability to support 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, which allegedly provides WiFi-like network data speed, though the actual test above doesn’t show much difference between iPhone 3G and 3GS. As we know, the network speed is quite dependent on the quality and the usage of the network. It is another potential yet unrecovered on iPhone 3GS.

Other New Features on iPhone 3GS

The latest iPhone OS 3.0 takes a large stride from where iPhone OS 2.2 stands. In conjunction with the latest hardware configuration of the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone OS 3.0 scores considerably better than its predecessor.

Another fascinating feature added to iPhone 3GS is the built-in digital compass. Cooperated with this Compass app, the Map will rotate to match the orientation you face. When hiking in mountains or groping at starless night, you will find this Compass come in handy.

Efforts have been made on the iPhone 3GS’s screen as well. The screen has been applied an oleophobic coating. Finger prints and smudges will easily come off to make the screen as shiny as the new.

Obsolete Features on iPhone 2G

• No 3G network support
• No built-in GPS module
• No standard 3.5mm headset slot
• Uses a non standard slot requiring users to purchase an adaptor
• Old iPhone OS 2.2

To wrap up, this table will give you a straight-forward comparison on the major differences between the three gen iPhones.

Five reasons you should have an Apple Tablet iPad

Last week, we have witnessed the debut of Apple iPad. Now I believe people are debating fiercely whether or not to buy an Apple iPad. To be honest, I myself am in the camp of those who are eager to buy an iPad, despite the thumb-downs of people who don’t agree with Apple’s lack of support for multitasking and flash support and more dispensable features. I suggest we look at these five reasons to make Apple iPad a compelling buy before you turn your back at this gadget perhaps someday you should have.

1. Apple iPad obviously outperforms normal netbooks. It is light, thin and sturdy, easily tucked into portfolio or a travel pack. With the latest iPhone OS 3.2, derived from matured iPhone OS 3.1, iPad features faster response and smoother operation than general netbooks. Actually when it comes down to a size that small, a tablet makes more sense in practicality than a netbook. Just imagine the ways you operate them in your hands, which do you prefer, type with one hand or write with one hand?



2. Apple iPad boots very fast, that is, in fifteen seconds or so. To put it at standby mode, it can revive all instantly. It will be very convenient to use at your will without having to wait for a long booting and unnecessarily wearing out the battery. You will appreciate that when you give a hurry presentation but without the embarrassment to hold the audience’s patience. As to battery life, Apple iPad can well sustain a general usage of about 10 hours, a standby state of up to a month, despite the large screen and faster CPU which we see as power gobblers.



3. Hundreds of thousands of full-fledged apps will make Apple iPad a versatile tablet used in as many occasions as possible. You can have iWork to give presentations, process word documents and spreadsheets, just like PowerPoint, Word and Excel do. You can also use it as a map, a GPS device, an HD video player, an e-Reader, a stock chart; or if you like, iPad can be turned into a keyboard, a piano or a pinball table. It is hard to get bored with a device like iPad that is so connected to life.
4. Apple iPad is meant to be a promising device, so the limitations on multitasking and flash support are just temporary. I am sure you will be amazed to know Windows 7 can run on Apple iPad with programs running simultaneously. So the bottleneck is not with iPad’s hardware but the OS software. It is said there will be improvements on these issues in the coming iPhone OS 4.0.



5. Apple iPad is definitely cool and irresistible in the first impression. The hype-thin body dimension and responsive multi-touch operation call out thoughts of Sci-Fi technology. It is like the versatile pads always in science officer’s hand in the Star Trek TV series or the lab tablet which easily swaps control with other computers in Avatar. Maybe someday in the future, we will realize that iPad is the ancestor of all those fascinating pads and tablets. It is now really undeniably cool to lay hands on this future pad prototype.

Lab Tablet in Avatar

Apple iPad is a big stone casted in the lake of innovation. It is more innovativeness than powerfulness that compels me to have it. For this is the first debut, we can judge it fairly on its features and shortcomings, but let’s hope it gains market and makes a stand, continues to evolve into a refined tablet that everyone should desire to have.
