To convert an AVI file to SWF, download a converter program and ensure it supports both formats. AVI has superior video quality but larger file size, while SWF is efficient for online multimedia content. Configure the settings and click “Start” to convert.
If you want to convert an AVI (audio video interleaved) file to a Shockwave® Flash® (SWF) file, you can do so using a downloadable program. There are many such programs online, many of them shareware and freeware. Generally you will be able to use such a program to convert AVI to SWF with just a few clicks. It is usually advisable, however, to know the pros and cons of each file format before converting them.
AVI is a popular format for digital video files due to its superior video quality. The AVI file format was first introduced in 1992, but is still widely used for making backup copies of digital versatile discs (DVDs). The disadvantage to consider is that AVI files tend to be larger in size than other formats with the same content, which leads to excessive use of storage space and longer processing times for uploading to the Internet.
SWF, also known as Shockwave® Flash® or Small Web Format, is preferred for uploading animations or applets to the Internet in an efficient file size. It is a dominant container for vector graphics and online multimedia content, again due to its convenient size. Search engines are able to scan and index SWF files online, thus making it easier to find specific files. If you want to upload or stream a small video file and the quality doesn’t have to be the highest possible, you can convert AVI to SWF and benefit from the results.
To convert AVI to SWF, you need to locate an online file format converter program. First, make sure that the program supports AVI as the source file format and SWF as the output file format. Download the program from a trusted website and install it on your computer.
Make sure the AVI file you want to convert is already stored on your computer. Run the program and click the “Add” button to select the AVI file where you saved from. Configure the settings and choose the saving location for your output file. Make sure to select SWF as the desired output file format if the program supports more than one output file format.
After setting the options to your preference, click the “Start” button to convert AVI to SWF. When it’s done, you’ll typically find your new SWF file in the location you selected. Your new SWF file should now be ready to upload or stream.
