I'm trying to locate a MPEG or MPG file of the JibJab production of "This Land." Here's a link to Atom Films where there's a Shockwave version of the cartoon.

I need this for a school project, so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Seth

Couldn't you just use Snapz Pro X 2.0.1 (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11530) to capture the swf. I think it can record the sound too.

If you do end up getting an mpeg or mov of the file, it would be great if you could post a link here.

I tried exporting it from quicktime and also opening it up in Flash MX and neither worked.

Duff-Man says...I am not sure of the format, but there is a downloadable version available from the original creators for just $2.99 - JibJab (http://www.jibjab.com) ....oh yeah!

Quicktime will play the .swf file if you download the file itself. I used Sitesucker to do it. Here's the link:

Hope this helps!

Anyone ever figure this out? I have managed to save the swf file, but I can't open it with quicktime. I want to convert it to a format that I can burn to a cd that will play on a dvd player so I can share this great video with non-computer people.

Thanks!

It is a flash movie, swf file.

http://images2.shockwave.com/afassets/flash/this_land.swf

Just control click on that link and save it to the desk top... I got the URI form the source code.

You can then play the file in QT or place it into an html file and play it in a browser.

OOPS! did not read that lats post... sorry.

Most likely the swf file has been protected from import. Placing it into an html page and playing it locally through a browser would be the best way.

Verified that the file is protected from import. The best option would be to use something like snapzpro (capturing application) and record it to mpg.
