So you need to convert an .SWF animation -> to a known media format such as .avi?
I'm not too experienced with it, but I think most of the well-ported Flash animations are actually recorded. I mean they play them and actually record the screen with proper software and a strong computer so it won't miss any frames.

Maybe I'm out dated but last time I checked Flash exporting tools were pretty poor.

That's an awesome idea, but, I don't know any good screen recording software.

HyperCam and all of it's friends are completely dumb and gay, and fraps only records games.

Suggestions?

Best results I got were with something called Camtasia studio. It costs monies I think.
On the freeware zone there's Camstudio, it's full of bugs but did the trick after you figure what buttons you aren't supposed to press and play with the settings long enough.
I never got perfect results which is the reason Echoes never had any official trailer. I was a pussy about showing off Echoes with unstable framerate. I think this time we'll release some of them unstable show off trailers for Act 2 tho.

Btw I think there's a setting in Fraps that makes it record whole windows (not just maximized games). But you'll then have to cut the window frame and make it into the proper sizes in a new movie, which requires some editing skills with proper software.

Oh and if you're using Vista or Win7, chances are (depends on your hardware) you cannot record audio - I mean, put your 'speakers' as the 'recorded device'. Blame Microsoft and stuff.
I got a dual penis 3.5mm cable and connected the microphone input with the audio output behind the computer, that did the trick and I checked 'record microphone'.But since it's a movie you can just output the audio only from Flash, and put it on the recorded video later in Movie Maker.

Sorry for any typos i nthis post

Fraps has a "record win7 sound", trolol.

But I can't find a fully screen record option.
I remember using Camtasia, but I also remember everything was pixelled and laggy.

I'll check out their help section anyway, thanks!

Any other suggestions?
