Is there any Linux tool that will take a SWF file and output some kind of video format? Note that I don't want a tool which will re-encode an embedded FLV or MP4, I want to take a standard Flash movie and render it as a video.

I found a reference to dump-gnash in the GNU Manual, but having installed the gnash package on Fedora I don't have that command.

You can try to use edit.py:

apt-get install pyvnc2swf
apt-file search edit.py
pyvnc2swf: /usr/share/pyvnc2swf/edit.py

Then convert it by outputing:

/usr/share/pyvnc2swf/edit.py -o output.flv original.swf

Then if you need to convert it once more to another format use ffmpeg (can convert to many popular video format):

ffmpeg -i output.flv output.avi

Unfortunately I just end up with a seven minute long movie of complete blackness :( BTW, the Fedora equivalent command is vnc2swf-edit – robertc Feb 2 '11 at 18:29
Sorry to hear, guess it's Debian only? Works on Ubuntu 10.04. – ngen Feb 2 '11 at 18:31
I got it installed fine, it just didn't work. – robertc Feb 2 '11 at 19:05
