Getting Started with SWF To Video SDK

To view the documentation for the SDK go to Start > All Programs > Bytescout SWF To Video SDK and click the “Documentation” link.

The SDK comes with lot of ready-to-use source code examples for Visual Basic, C#, ASP.NET, VB6, VBScript.

To find source code samples please go to “My Documents” folder, “ByteScout Samples” and “SWF To Video SDK”. Do not hesitate to copy and paste code snippets from samples right into your application!

The First Application

To help you get the most out of your evaluation, here is the quick information on converting SWF and FLV files into WMV, AVI video in your application.

• run Visual Studio and create New Project
• add reference to SWF To Video SDK using Project | Add Reference. In the Add Reference dialog select “Bytescout SWF To Video Lib” and click OK.
• copy-and-paste the following code:

Visual Basic:

Imports <span data-scayt_word="BytescoutSWFToVideoLib" data-scaytid="662">BytescoutSWFToVideoLib</span>

Module <span data-scayt_word="Module1" data-scaytid="664">Module1</span>

Sub Main()

' Create an instance of <span data-scayt_word="SWFToVideo" data-scaytid="665">SWFToVideo</span> ActiveX object
Dim converter As New <span data-scayt_word="SWFToVideo" data-scaytid="666">SWFToVideo</span>()

' Set debug log

<span data-scayt_word="converter.OutputHeight" data-scaytid="692">converter.OutputHeight</span> = 480

' Run conversion
<span data-scayt_word="converter.RunAndWait" data-scaytid="694">converter.RunAndWait</span>()

' Open the result movie in default media player
<span data-scayt_word="Process.Start" data-scaytid="696">Process.Start</span>("<span data-scayt_word="result.wmv" data-scaytid="687">result.wmv</span>")

}
}

• press F5 to compile and run your first application!

The application converts given SWF file saves into WMV video file.
