  We focus on giving us all access to existing content in the SWF
format, so a converter isn't really something we think about. It'd
potentially be doable using Gnash, but I think it's a project for
somebody else, as we're still working on compatibility issues for swf v10.

  btw, I doubt you'd see video media player's like YouTube written in
SVG, but I could be wrong. I did see some experiments while at LCA about
streaming video using SVG, but it's not there yet...
