Windows 7: Converting SWF files for youtube or starting fresh

I have a bunch of tutorial video's of my desktop while narrating.

I figure I might as well put them on youtube so I can get some "creed" and some traffic for my site.



The videos I've uploaded to Screencast are SWF's using Jing.I can download them in the SWF format so how can I convert them to a format I can use on youtube?

Next question is what progie can I use to do video screen capture and have it so I can upload it to youtube. Free, of course, if possible.

I got a recommendation of handbrake to convert the SWS files to AVI. I get an error message: Your source may be copy protected, badly mastered or in a format which handbrake does not support.

If I can't get handbrake to work are there other video screen capture programs with audio that would work like Jing?

try Freemake Video Converter. It can convert most files and has a YouTube upload facility.Free Video Converter| MP4 FLV 3GP AVI MKV DVD| FREE Download

Thanks kado897,

But Freemake won't open the swf files downloaded from screencast either. They must have protected them somehow. Or something.
