Can someone please make this idiot proof for me? I downloaded the videos clips from www.beyondbiofeedback.com. They are in the swf. format. I then copied to a cd and also to dvd. To make them play though i have to go to my computer<my cd/dvd drive<rigth click a clip and select play. I have to repeat the process for all of the clips. Is there anyway to create a CD or DVD that can be inserted and the clips will begin playing without me having to start each one? Please Help!

just merge the clips into one file, using an editor that can use swf files.

SWF is a Shockwave Flash format.



If you want to use those videos on a DVD player hooked to your TV, then they have to be converted to a video format that video DVD burning software can read and then encode in DVD video format. I don't know if DVD video burning software can handle SWF format or not.

Do you only want to play them on you computer? Or also on a standard DVD player hooked to a TV? It is not clear to me (probably me not understanding).

If you just want to edit them so that they are tied together for use on a computer, then "best" way is to get Flash. But, that is likely expensive. There are some cheaper alternatives. You might look at this: www.sothink.com/product/swfquicker/. Might do what you need...might not. Don't know. There is a free version to try.

I got it figured out !!! I converted the flash files to avi using Prism video converter(free version) and them used dvd flick to create a DVD. It was a piece of cake!!! :8}
