I Can't Let You Blog That, Dave

http://students.ithaca.edu/~apinker1/BankRobbingPotato.swf

I made this video about a year ago for my Flash Animation course. It was the last straight-forward video project we were assigned. After that, all our projects revolved around programming and code, and the whole class went down from there.

The culinary anomole of The Bouncing Potato began back in high school, and I launched multiple attempts on a pirated learning edition of Flash (back when Macromedia was developing it, before Adobe). Though I never accomplished a successful Bouncing Potato video in high school, the concept kept lingering around. Years later, when faced with Flash projects at the collegiate level, it seemed time to dig back into those folders for a great big WTF semester-long gag. My Flash Animation class never saw me turn in anything but new bouncing potato videos for the entirety of the course.

The reason I'm posting it is because I'm searching for a means to convert it from Flash (.swf) into a usable format for DVD release. If I'm able to convert it to an extension allowed by my disc authoring software, then it will join the other legendary content on the Fungus-Ridden 3 DVD. I've all but expired every option my Mac can offer me, but now it's time to test Windows.

C'mon, PC. Here's your chance to shine.
