I have created a .swf file using Wink (desktop recorder). In a addition
to the .swf file I would like to upload to you tube which requires .avi
or mpeg2/4 (preferred).
I have googled with no results. The suggestions ended in failure.
ffmpeg does not recognize .swf and mencoder failed with:
[snip]
xvid: 2Pass Rate Control mencoder subnetting.swf -o /dev/null -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts
pass=1:turbo
which was the first of two passes the second being
mencoder output.mpg input.swf
Does anyone have a way to convert the .swf file?

Both softwares failed. Further research explained that swf is a
partially compiled code and flv are not. Linux does not seem to have
anything that will decompile the swf for conversion. Video is not my
area of expertise. Guess I'll just try some other desktop recorders
which save in other formats. There are plenty of solutions for
converting to swf out there to include the above mentioned. Wink has
exporting to flv and other formats.

Actually, according to this:
<http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55744&cbid=-1xpyzigmqtc27&src=cb&lev=index>
Youtube does accept SWF files.

As you can see, libavformat allows MEncoder to mux into a considerable
variety of containers. Unfortunately, as MEncoder was not designed from
the beginning to support container formats other than AVI, your should
really be paranoid about the resulting file. Please check to be sure
that the audio/video synchronization is OK and that the file can be
played correctly by players other than MPlayer.

I had tried uploading the .swf file to you tube without success. The
other formats will be good know though.
