I recorded a great video and then the problems started. The file type was .swf -- one of the absolute worst file types to have to deal with. After trying a multitude of online converters, the jing swf file will not process on any of the sites. I get errors on all of them. Thee are no freeware tools for MAC to convert swf to any other file format. After wasting several hours trying to do this conversion, I am giving up on it. Jing seems to be a great product in theory but in practice it has a long way to go. If output could be changed to any other file type other than swf, Jing would be rocking. As far now, I am uninstalling Jing until the developers can fix the file type issue. It's a crazy thing-- one that could have been avoided easily.

Short of Adobe Acrobat, it is still the best way to convert them. Some online services and some freeware exists, but other than the simplest documents they all perform very poorly. Check www.freewaregenius.com for some recent posts and freeware.
