+
+    avi2swf isn't part of the swftools distribution anymore. If you want to convert avi files

+                      -ffourcc FLV1 -oac mp3lame -of lavf -ovc lavc \

+                      -o file.swf
+
+    or
+
+    ffmpeg -i video.mpg -b <bitrate> -s <X>y<Y> -pass 1 -passlogfile log_file video.flv

+
+    Run pdf2swf as usual, and then, on the resulting file, execute:
