I'm sick of downloading fake, dodgy software.
Can anybody help me convert this SWF file to either a AVI or WMV?

My plan is for it to be looped and used as desktop wallpaper using DreamScenes (DreamScape) for my car pc.

Any help appreciated :)

Try using something like FRAPS or if you're really keen something that can record it in as a video like Premiere (that's big $$$ tho...)

Gimme till next weekend if you haven't acheived it by then I'll see what I can do with Premiere for you if I get some free time.

Want me to make you a better looking one in after effects?

What resolution / colour background / video container / format ?

Let me know.

Edit: - Here's a quick one - 720p res - h264 .mov file weighing in at 3.4MB.

I've got Adobe Premiere CS4+CS5, so thats not an issue. But the Opel logo I'm working with is pretty shit...

Dude if you could do that, that would be awesome! Any chance you could give it depth? So it looks 3D apposed to paper thin?
Resolution: 800x600 (headrest monitor size), BG Colour: Black (so it doesn't annoy people in back seat), WMV or MPG so Deskscapes (http://www.stardock.com/products/deskscapes/) can open it.


Edit: I acquired some "free" software off the net that converts swf to any video format, then I took the video into premiere and inverted it....
Still dodgy as shit tho... http://www.2wenty2wo.com/opelaus/opel.mpg

Yeah mate - I could prolly just give it a stroke effect to add some depth - it was just a 5 min job to see if it was along the lines of what you wanted.

Gimme some time and I will see if I can make you up a nice 3d one.

What kind of software did you use? I seems perfect. Is it a swf to video converter? I've found a professional one from http://www.swfkits.com/swf_to_video/, but I'm not sure whether it just works as the software you use.

He didn't convert anything, he created it in Adobe After Effects.

Actually the 3d ones are made as follows.

Photoshop / Workpath trace Opel logo and export as Adobe Illustrator paths file.
Load paths file into Cinema 4d / Articulate splines / Expand logo to 3d / animate / Export file as uncompressed Raw video.
Load video file into Adobe After effects / Render file down to a usable filesize with a h264 encoder.

Simple hey.

Cheers mate, no idea what else I can do tho haha

Edit: Actually, I can think of something? If you get any spare time, maybe a spinning OpelAus logo?

I know there is a bunch of people on here that think if I use the OA logo as my wallpaper, I'll start raping children or something, :lol: so if people have a problem maybe you could PM me the video or something?
Anywhoo... cheers :)

Hmm - I would need a hi res version of the logo to even attempt to render and animate it.

If you can get permission to use it and get your hands on the image - I'm happy to try.
