Is there any free video conversion software that converts and encodes all video file types including swf?

I make a lot of videos with adobe's flash CS Series however, I'd like to convert and encode them to any video file that exists including SWF and MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-1 and the High Definition MPEG-5 also including many more video files and encoding such as FLV (Adobe Flash Video). it comes with encoding like AVC and VC-1 also with region types PAL and NTSC. it can also let you edit how big the video file should be (For if it gets burnt onto a DVD or USB or Hard Drive). is there any freeware or GPL software that can do this?

As orksecurity said, there is no "ultimate" conversion program. The closest thing to what you're asking for is a freeware program called MPEG Streamclip. However, i know that Flash is not supported by this program either, or by the vast majority of other file conversion software.  You'll probably need a program specifically for that format, and it will likely require it to already be in a specific format such as .avi.

Some video formats are proprietary, requiring that the programmer buy a license before they can distribute code which handles them... which means free solutions generally don't support those formats, or require separate (purchased) plug-ins to support them.

So, no, nothing free is likely to support "all" video file types.
