Imports BytescoutSWFToVideo

Module Module1

    Sub Main()

        ' Create an instance of SWFToVideo ActiveX object
        Dim converter As New SWFToVideo()

        ' Set debug log
        'converter.SetLogFile("log.txt")

        ' Register SWFToVideo
        converter.RegistrationName = "demo"
        converter.RegistrationKey = "demo"

        ' Set input SWF file
        converter.InputSWFFileName = "SlideShowWithEffects.swf"

        ' you may calculate output video duration using information about the the source swf movie
        ' WARNING #1: this method to calculate the output video duration is not working for movies with dynamic scenes 
        ' and interactive scripts as in these movies it is not possible to calculate the precise duration of the movie 
        ' WARNING #2: you should set the input swf or flv filename (or url) before this calculation

        ' So the movie duration is calculated as the following:
        ' as swf frame count (number of frames in the swf) / movieFPS (frames per second defined in swf)
        ' and then multiplied by 1000 (as we are setting the .ConverstionTimeout in milliseconds)
        ' as the following (uncomment if you want to set the length of the output video to the same as the original swf)
        ' or as the following source code (uncomment to enable):

        ' converter.ConversionTimeout = 1000 * (converter.FrameCount / converter.MovieFPS)

    
        ' Set output WMV or AVI video file
        converter.OutputVideoFileName = "result.webm"

        ' Set output movie dimensions
        converter.OutputWidth = 640
        converter.OutputHeight = 480

        ' Run conversion
        converter.RunAndWait()

        ' release resources
        System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(converter)
        converter = Nothing


        ' Open the result movie in default media player
