Convert *.SCR into a WMV or SWF etc.?

[_Bat_]

I've found loads of programs that will convert video/flash files into SCR format, but is there anything which will do it vice versa?

Depends how many you want to do! There is a piece of software called Snagit which i believe is excellent there is a free trial but i'm not sure how long it lasts.

Will keep looking if i find anything else will post it up on here.

Unlikely - SCR is basically an executable. So to give a contrived example, a screensaver could calculate Pi to as many decimal places as you leave it on for (yes, I know, depending on the method you would probably run out of RAM... ) leading to an "infinite length" video if you could "convert" it.

The closest you will get is software that videocaptures the screen - though this may suck heartily for 3d stuff.

 

What are you actually trying to achieve?

Just Found Fraps 2.9.8 also looks pretty good both of these involve some kind of screen capture?? Looks like the dogs b@!!@$ks to me!

Thanks, JPenn for the software ideas.

Yeah, I had expected that, but thought I'd ask anyway. As you say, screencapture software isn't something I would really want to use unless I absolutely had to. Cheers!
