The other day, I stumbled across a wonderful Video to Flash software: Flash Video MX. Firstly, I was attracted by the succinct and friendly interface. Then downloaded it and found this software quickly converts different video formats into high-quality Flash Video (FLV). Meanwhile, this Flash encoder is also a good Video to SWF Converter. It can convert video to Flash by creating a Flash Video player (SWF file) for the generated FLV file. It also provides various playback skins with different styles for the SWF file, and automatically creates an HTML page to display the SWF file. A powerful tool! Herewith post the guide to share with friends, hope it do you a favor!

Step1: Load the video file

Click the folder on the right end of "Input Video" frame, and select your targeted video file to convert.
