To me, I am now using this program: Aunsoft SWF Converter.
It is used to convert swf/flash files to many other video and audio formats, such as MOV, MP4, WMV, MPEG, AVI, 3GP, DV, VOB, MP3, AC3, etc. It also can convert SWF to AVI with Alpha which can be edited in Adobe Premiere.
What's more, you can choose the profile just according to the specific device such as iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, Zune, etc. to get the right format.
I like it as its name"AUN" is like a smile and looks sweet.

The VLC player can convert media whenever it is able to display it (see below what codecs it can use for the output).
SWF videos normally download an FLV file, which contains the actual video. The SWF is a video player which is displayed through a flash plugin (mostly on webpages, like youtube).
There is a free (GNU) flash player out there, on Debian the Mozilla plugin (used for Firefox) is called swfdec-mozilla, its project name is swfdec and its webpage is http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/wiki/. This flash player allows you to save the FLV video! (Right click on the video on e.g. YouTube->properties->the thing that has the type "Flash Video"->"Save media as"->choose a file) The FLV video can be played with many video players (totem, mplayer, and, of course, VLC player).
In VLC player, go file->open file [NOT "simple file" [or similar]]->choose a file, activate "stream/save" (I see problems when I don't activate "caching")->click on "settings...", in the dialog: as output choose a file (don't forget an extension like .mpg or .ogm) [this file will be overwritten if it exists], then activate both audio and video codec below.
Choose a working audio and a working video codec, most don't work unless you install them seperately (I don't know where you get them).
These codecs work for me with stuff (e.g. ffmpeg) I installed on Debian:
Video: MP1, WMV1, WMV2, MJPG, Theora
Audio: MPa, MP2, Vorbis
(Note that probably no DVD player will accept the Theora and Vobis codecs, as they can be used more easily to make illegal copies of media.)
Subtitles (only one codec in the list) also work whenever I can see them with VLC, though I haven't tried displaying them "hardsubbed" yet.
Click OK, then again OK, and the player should start making the video file.

And ... aaaawwwwww, I know the question has been raised 8 months ago, but I didn't know that VLC could convert media so easily back when I read the question as a "zero-repl-thread".
Maybe other people can make use of this.

BTW you can do the same with video DVDs if you have installed libdvdcss, but: Just watching them (and I mean legitimately acquired videos) with VLC is already illegal in most countries >.> ... of course, I haven't tried this :P ...

I searched "tipard" on google and was led to its homepage over another page: http://www.tipard.net/
The full version costs 40$, so I recommend anyone to try out free (here 'free' as in 'free beer') software like VLC, ffmpeg, MPlayer etc.. I will also be able to give you some hints if you post a question here and I know what to do.
VLC is available freely from its webpage:
