SWF to MPEG help!

I've created a 1600x900, 30 second flash file.
I've been trying for the last 4 hours to get it into a half decent looking MPEG
Saving as a MOV file (the only video format that you can successfully save to): for some reason, it comes out really slow and only 2/3 of the animation fits into the 30 seconds. And when I convert that into mpeg, it's really fast but ends before 30 seconds
SWF to MPEG converter:
Tried downloading one (Moya) but after installing and playing with the settings and finally converting, oh surprise it ISN'T actually free after all! I'll be fucked if I'm gonna pay for something that might well not work at all (learned that one the hard way)So if anyone has any advice, please share. Be it a free swf converter that actually works or any other tips and tricks... I need to sort this out, already past the dealine and getting nowhere.
Thanks

might be a frame rate issue when u exporting?
I dont really use flash but could be that or make sure frame re-ordering is off if its a quicktime dialogue type box.

everything's gotta be on the same timeline, no embedded clips.
- yeah that's the case with exporting to avi. But it's absolutely impossible with what I need to do.Projectile

erm. use after effects?
- got a few hundred to spare?
it's something I'll need to do in the futureProjectile

ok I seem to have come close to sorting the problem... AVC converter, and I've just compromised and halved the file size.. Flash was actually exporting it funny cos something can't handle the size.. whether it's my machine or flash itself I don't know though.
Now I just need to find a way to get the compression to be unnoticeable.. might have to start searching for a new converter... ffs

I've getting strange results at high resolutions from Flash CS5 IDE's export movie/ image dialog too... esp. with alpha channels.
It's extreme but i keep swf2avi on an XP machine in work for this, it seems to work with whatever flash player you have installed. Just drop the framerate down to 2-5fps and come back to a sequence of uncompressed bitmaps - convert to uncompressed avi in qt, then stick it on a network drive.

I wondered about coming up with some sort of AIR or projector based solution, a container app in air that exports each frame?

use Handbrake. It's based on x264 and you can't get better quality than that for web broadcast.
Barring that, you can use Adobe Media Encoder or even just wrap the whole thing in an after effects project and export to your desired format.

If you have access to a PC, get this software. It's really cheap. It'll record EVERYTHING, every interaction, every frame, and sound at any frame rate and then spit out an uncompressed AVI. I know the website looks like shit but their software is golden. I used this software to create my old flash animation reel.
