All of this is very interesting (and believe it or not, I'm not being sarcastic). However, can anyone actually help convert these SWFs? I've installed ffmpeg2theora, but that seems to only change the question to "how do I convert a SWF to MPEG2?"
You can use xvidcap to record the running SWF under linux. The convert the result to Theora. ... I dont think the image quality of these SWF's are great to begin with, but the result seems okay:
AIUI, there is no such thing as an SWF video format, and the SWF is just a container to allow portability and some play control buttons. Use some kind of SWF decompiler, and the video inside will be in something easy enough to convert.
