title: Serverside solution for converting an SWF file to a VIDEO file
body: <p>Right now i develop an RIA application, for online movie creating.
  Main data format it`s a server side generated swf files.
  I need an server side solution for automated swf to video converting.</p>
  
  <p>After some researching and experiments, i found two solutions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Rewrite a bit an open source flash player <strong>gnash</strong></li>
  <li>Grab adobe flash player directly through virtual X server</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But both methods has a number of disadvantages like this:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>gnash support only old formats of swf</li>
  <li>grabbing work real time only </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Someone can suggest another way to do this stuff?</p>
