(oh, wait, there's also "rendering" by converting swf to a series of images, but it could easily eat up all the memory tested)
Automatic .swf-to-.mp4 conversion is not worth the effort it'd involve. Such a feature would choke on ActionScript wherever it occurs, and in any case there's no reason to make a small, lossless, vector-based file into a big, lossy, raster file that'll wreak havoc on your bandwidth. You'd be better off trying to convert SWF to HTML5, but to what end?

Unfortunately, I've got to hop on the bandwagon of people not too interested in this project. I don't see myself using it, and I don't see other people using it unless it lets them do stuff they can't do elsewhere.

I don't really think you're solving any problems that haven't already been solved in much better ways. I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish besides making a newgrounds-lite, which is all it'll ever be without the millions/billions of dollars of investment that every other similar service has.

If it were some sort of community driven aggregate thing, then that's possible to pull off, but you're never going to be better than youtube, vimeo, kongregate, or newgrounds.

I'm just making an alternative, like sA is an alternative to dA, dailymotion is an alternative to youtube, armorgames & congregate are alternatives to each other

right, but newgrounds itself - which already has support for HTML5 video, too - is on the way out. flash is dead. it's like making an alternative to geocities or something. what's the point? the only thing i can think of that would turn my head is support for automatic conversion of .swf to h.264 or something.

In theory it can be achievable with ffmpeg
ffmpeg sounds like a good idea. i would say experimenting with .swf to mp4 conversion is the only worthwhile idea.

What are you offering Newgrounds, vimeo, or youtube doesn't?
I'm offering an alternative to newgrounds, during the alpha i only have "embed by links", hopefully, i'll make a decent legacy flash upload feature, as for videos, there's a plan to extentend this functionality to dailymotion as well (or make a restricted video upload possible (mp4)). More feedback needed to decide on this.
tl;dr: right now it has - legacy newgrounds flash support and yt videos support
---
What's different from newgrounds?

  • Mobile friendliness
  • up/down or plus/minus rating system (no more "star" ratings)
  • simplicity (i hope)
What may be coming (not so sure)

  • Rateable reviews(+/-)
  • User "blogs"
  • Awards

So, ideas on what to add are very welcome

html5 or just don't even bother
