I missed this one…too bad because I downloaded Wondershare from here and found it a good app. I’ve just had my hard drive replaced and was on the look out for something similar. I hope GOTD offer another video to .swf app. soon.

I can’t seem to get .avi files to load on this thing! It keeps giving me “int. error #800015″. What is that? Is it the .avi file? Does anyone know?

Hello,

I installed SWF converter in my laptop and a virtual machine that do not use Nvidia software at all. I have Nero, but only the OEM burning part, so that’s not a problem. Still I got the debugging error though, which I fixed with their solution. Then I upgraded Nero and when I tried to run SWF I got the debugging error again. I fixed it again.

I will not instal it in my main desktop or my Mojopac. The destop has an Nvidia card and Mojopac uses whatever the hardware you plug it in has. If I need to convert, I’ll reach for one of the two computers where I installed SWF. I must say that I am impressed with the software, so I think I got the best of both worlds.

Its been a strange couple of days. All I do is work on GAOTD. I used to spend 10 mins tops. Now I work all day reading posts, backing up, trying, reading more posts… until midnight. I hope we get some screensaver sometime soon so I can get some rest :)

#20, your problems sound exactly like the typical problems that occur with Windows startup; Microsoft can’t produce a version of Windows that’s able to start correctly. Windows doesn’t allow you to specify a start order for your processes; it pretty much starts them all at once. When you have a lot of startup processes, bad things can happen. There are some configurations which usually start correctly, and some which usually fail. I’ve seen this repeatedly with Windows; you install some new software, and for some reason, perhaps a change in the physical order of files on the disk, or a change in the physical position of entries within the registry database, apparently a slight timing change occurs which results in more frequent startup failures. I’ve seen the ATI Catalyst Control Center startup problem; actually, it does appear to start anyway, although sometimes I can’t access it until I terminate it (CCC.exe; terminating anything can destabilize your system) and restart it. On my system, if most of the startup splash screens don’t appear, then the vast majority of processes will start correctly. If my anti-virus splash screen appears but gets held up, then the majority of processes will fail to start, or fail to start correctly, and if they do start, those with tray icons will usually fail to display them. I think that it’s unlikely that SWF Video Converter caused your problems; it sounds more like the general Windows software installation issue when you have a lot of startup processes.

The problem I experienced is, unfortunately, not uncommon. A software developer gets support requests due to a conflict with some version of some other product. So, they simply disable the other product, without informing the user. Their own product works, and they hope that the user won’t notice that the other product is broken right away, and that when they do discover it, that they’ll blame it on the other product. Most people need their codecs to work, and the nVidia MPEG-2 decoder is one of the top codecs. Although SWF Video Converter didn’t disable my other MPEG-2 decoders, it’s possible that they’re disabling other DirectX filters on other people’s systems, therefor I cannot recommend the product at this point.

#11 you are just being honest, so don’t bother about what #rsa of 28 ’say’. So rsa you are just one of ‘us’ that checking out the free, don’t have to be so sarcastic about others. You have no right to ‘hurts’ other’s feeling by saying ‘mean’ comment. So Messie you have my support.

Thanks Bladedthoth for your great review and all who share the outcome after trying the dl of the day. After reading all review I decided to give this a ‘pass’. Still big tks to Once again thank you so much to GOTD and for your wonderful giveaway,

Have a great day everyone! :)

I was going to give it a try but the activation code given after installing the software does not seem to have worked; after I put the details in I still see a “Enter registration code” box on the about screen and nothing that I can see indicates that it is registered…same as some other complaints.

After installation, I suddenly had the Google Toolbar installed (replacing my googlebar from the FireFox addon page). In case not many people know this, Google Toolbar for IE and Firefox is loaded with spyware.

I uninstalled the Google Toolbar for FireFox and had to re-install my original Googlebar.

No major harm done that I can see, but I’m not happy about this at all. Claiming to be spyware/trojan free and then installing a spyware toolbar is in my opinion pretty crappy.
