Convert SWF to AVI

.swf

Adobe Flash Player

The Swiff owned by Adobe is used for the animated vector representation. It can contain the texts as well as other vector oriented graphics. Any web browser with Flash plug-in installed can play the file.

It was first just an acronym of “Shockwave Flash” because it was only developed for Shockwave player. These files are binary and are stored in the form of 8-bit bytes. The latest SWF10 version allows the expansion of text capabilities with support for bidirectional texts and complicated scripts. This allows embedding JPEG oriented images, which operates at an alpha channel for opacity and smooth filter.

.avi

Video Lan VLC Player

AVI stands for Audio and Video Interleave. It has an extension written as .avi, and users use this same format to store audio and video on their PC, which was developed by Microsoft in 1992 for its Video for Windows project. It allows the simultaneous playback by keeping video and audio into a single file. The simple architecture of .avi format will enable it to run on various operating systems such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix. It is supported by multiple web players as well.

AVI format uses Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) support, where the real data is stored into chunks, and each chunk gets recognized by a FourCC tag. Out of these individual chunks, the first one can be recognized by the hdrl tag, and it can decode the chunk containing metadata for the video. The second chunk gets identified by the movi tag, and it includes the actual audio and visual data which makes up the AVI movie. It uses less compression rather than the MOV and MPEG file formats.
