Frequently Asked Questions
Jaksta sometimes downloads an swf file which I cant convert to play! What is it?
An SWF file (acronym of "Shockwave Flash" pronounced swiff) is a flash application that is playing in your browser. In the context of Jaksta, this is normally the player that hosts the video or music but could also be an ad or some other application. Jaksta can not convert SWF files into any other format so if you have a conversion preset selected this will result in conversion error.
By default Jaksta will download SWF files if it detects them. If you dont want to detect and download swf files then open Tools > Settings and search for and remove the application/x-shockwave-flash (swf) entry from the Content Type/File Extension list.
