I need to export the LibreOffice impress presentation into a video format using python.
I have managed to export the presentation into flash file format using pyuno and I need to convert it into mp4 (or any other famous video) format. I have tried using "ffmpeg" but doesn't work.
failed to read the duration of file /home/ankur/Desktop/test_dev_1010_v111.swf.
Here are the file infos returned by ffmpeg:

Please guide me in the right direction.
Depending your distribution, you should install a swf parser/reader from packages or from source. Gnu Gnash seems to be one. Debian had packages for stretch but they don't exist anymore for buster. They also provided python-gtk-gnash for python bindings. How to convert was explained a long time ago.
