Moyea Software Co., Ltd. has announced Moyea SWF to Video Converter ver. 1.15, an updated version of the popular Flash-to-video converter. Compared to the earlier versions, the program can better output WMV files and extract audio from Flash file to WMA files. Besides, Moyea SWF to Video Converter has a new function that lets users extract audio from the Flash file to AAC file.

The best in SWF to Video Converter is the brilliant quality of conversion from SWF to AVI, MP4, MPEG (compatible with DVD, VCD, SVCD), and 3GP. As distinct from the crowd of other converters, the program has no problems related to video and audio asynchronization, skipped/lost frames, audio distortion, inability to retain Alpha Channel effect of original Flash files in converted videos and failure to process internal and external Flash video (FLV).
