Shockwave Flash, later renamed Small Web Format (SWF), is the file type Adobe Flash used to deliver animations, interactive banners, browser games, and video across the web. An SWF stores vector artwork, timelines, embedded media, and ActionScript code in a compact package that streamed well over slow connections. Adobe ended support for Flash Player on 31 December 2020, and every major browser has since removed it, so SWF is now a legacy format.
Ruffle is the modern route: it is a Flash emulator that runs SWF content as a desktop application or browser extension, without Flash Player itself.
Standalone players such as SWF File Player also work on Windows, and VLC media player can play simple SWF files that contain only video. For animations you want to keep long-term, converting them to a standard video format with our SWF to MP4 tool is the most reliable way to preserve them.

Windows Media Video (WMV) is a common and widely supported video format. It compresses the file size with a codec resulting in an easy-to-manage file that maintains the quality of the video. A digital container format, called Advanced Systems Format (ASF), often encapsulates WMV files.
Most media players can open and read WMV (and ASF) files. The best player for opening a WMV file is Microsoft Windows Media Player. Microsoft developed WMV and ASF, and many videos online today are WMV files. VLC media player is another reliable option, which can play multimedia files across several platforms.
WMV is also easy to convert to other video file types. However, keep in mind that the conversion process might cause picture quality to decrease. If a conversion is needed, then HandBrake is a free and open-source tool for converting WMV files.
