This does not appear to work when trying to convert from a swf. Am I missing something?

Great program. I have been searching for months for a decent media converter. I mainly convert .avi video to mp4 for iTunes. Format Factory does it all and fairly quickly to boot. It only took 60 hours to convert close to 120gb of video. My old converter I was using took close to 2 hours per gb and was not Vista compatible. The only problem is that iTunes reads these files as being double the length they actually are. Not a huge problem, just an inconvenience.

This program really works. At first I thought it was a toy designed for 8-year-olds, but I was so frustrated with a program called Super, that I tried this one. It works great! You can convert all your videos at one time in a batch mode. Very nice!

How well does this work on a VHS tape with video dropout and some tracking issues?
