As stated in the topic, I am looking for a program to convert .wmv movies to .swf. The Macromedia app on makes .flv files or something like that. I tried Win Avi as it claims to do it, but I couldn't find the option anywhere.

What do you guys use?

Do you have Flash (8 Professional in specific) It will convert most codecs to an flv file. This is Flash Video.

If you want an animation sequence that you want to use as a flash piece, There are a few programs that will do this, but, from experiece, its not the best route to go. If you want to use Flash on your site, you need to get Flash.

If you can't do it yourself in Flash, and don't want to make the investment to get someone else to do it for you, you are better off not using..

If you give us a bit more of what you want to accomplish we may be able to give you a getter answer than my (negative) comments. I do speak with much experience in this...

So. What's up? _ What do you need to do here nerbonne.

p.s. - Welcome to the forum ;-)

I have a program (total video converter) which is FANTASTIC it converts LOADS of formats into any other format. contact me and i can send u the link and a serial for full usage if u like.

Well, I have a movie that is in .wmv format. I want to take that movie and put it on one of my webpages and have it be able to be played when a user accesses the page. If possible, I do not want it to play automatically, but rather I would like it to play only if they click a "Play Movie" button.

This is my personal preference, but, I am in good company. If you notice just about all of the big sites, msnbc, cnn, cnet, etc., etc., are using flash video. This is because it is a very friendly format for the Web and its one of the easiest to use. Flash does all of the work for you.

If you have FLash 8 you can do it. If not let us know. Me or someone else could probably do it for you..
