Still seeking
A still from my lost masterpiece Damien’s Jaunty Balls above, celebrating the 2006 neutering of my cat. It makes visual sense as a stripey cat walking when it’s animated, which was fun to do.
I’ve tried a number of the swf > mp4 converters without success. Some render the audio but no images. Some do the job but result in huge files. One – Ruffle Player – will play the link for me when I upload it, but won’t download in any kind of shareable form. Hence the still image.
The text above reads: go go gonads, you’re the besticles, there never was a pair like Damien’s testicles.
No badger in last night’s footage, but there was a fox. Very misty again.

Damien’s Jaunty Balls has a Dante’s Inferno thing going on inside the cat’s body… I love it! I’d take a print as one of the, (ahem…3 dick’s) I’ve earned in the DP….signed of course!

I imagine, @stoaty, you asked various AIs about swf > mp4 conversion facilities. Did they not know history ancient enough to include swf, or were their suggestions crappy?
I sure do miss the running weasel page header!

Agreed, running weasel was iconic as were Damion’s balls.

I think it’s going to have to be a multi-step process. One to extract the video, one to extract the audio, one to combine them into a new format.
