Gregory Maxwell stated for the record:
The XviD codec is very much patent encumbered. No free mpeg4 codec can exist in the near future. The situation for XviD is actually much worse than MP3. mpeg4 codec licensing is a huge expensive mess. Fortunately Theora has competitive quality/bitrate with mpeg4.
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?"
