Re: Re: Please help AVi to FLASH

I don't really care who developed the software or what. I went ahead and installed it on my windows partition to test it... I got no problems, converted elephants dream to asf just as a test. Everything works perfectly it seems I haven't had any unwanted side effects (actually no changes at all) It's pretty much just a front end to open source stuff, plus all the previous video converters i dealt with were feature less or cut down shareware. Anyway I've always felt linux is the way to go. slackware is at version 11 now

 I have a bunch of AVI to Flash conversion tools I like to use or know
 of. The one I use most is Boomer Video (without sound, they have
 another tool that either embeds an mp3 or converts a Wave file into
 the swf) - Boomer 4 is what I use, version 5 is offered at Segon.com
 
 See here for a good example:
 
 www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/whatscool/postwork
 
 At the bottom is an animation that was saved as AVI originally and
 converted to SWF for FlashMX players using Boomer Video 4. The sounds
 and music you hear in the Quicktime version at
 http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/whatscool/post/rainyday.html
 is by Dj D'Artagnan (Winds of Mars, AEoN, Return to Stonehenge...
 www.thebest3d.com/music) and was converted from Wave to Flash format
 with Boomer Audio 4.
 
 There's a few other tools I can think of, look for 'Flash' at
 www.thebest3d.com - SoThink makes a tool too for AviToFlash conversion
 and many other options.
 
 The one from erightsoftware looks very interesting too. Anyone has any
 intel to share about the owner of the website and the developer of
 SUPER(C)? They also show encryption tools and mass-emailing clients,
 hm... are they safe to trust your PC with?
 
 I have a feeling based on some chosen words and titles of other
 products that there's some french developers in there, just a hunch,
 not really sure though. Would love to learn more on them. They do seem
 a little bit secretive. No street address even for the domain owner is
 showing at WHOIS - The server is hosted in Arizona it seems.
 MelBourneIT and GoDaddy seem involved too.
 
 Anyone got more?
