How to Convert SWF to WebM Easily

Compared to Flash SWF, WebM format can wrap video in HD quality with much smaller size than MKV, MP4, etc. And most of all, WebM is kind of HTML5 video format, which means we need no plugins for embedding the WebM video on webpage unlike SWF. We know that the Flash plugin problems and format compatibility issues always mess up Mac and most mobile devices users since these devices don't support Flash SWF. In this regard, the transition from SWF to WebM seems to be a really good idea and is another good way to share video online, right?

By mentioning this, I'm not suggesting you to make a WebM video directly by yourself. Since there're so many SWF files, it's very easy for us to convert .swf to .webm. This conversion process can be very simple. For example, if you are a Mac user, what you only need is a smart Mac SWF to WebM Converter to help. Now I will give you a simple step-by-step guide to show you how to do that:
