How to convert a video to .swf?

Question

How to convert any kind of videos into .swf format automatically?

So if the user uploads a video in a format from the example inputs how should I convert it automatically into sfw format?

Example Inputs:

.avi, .ivf, .div, .divx, .mpg, .mpeg, .mpe, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv, .asf,

.mov, .qt, .ts, .mts, .m2t, .m2ts, .mod, .tod, .3gp2, .3gpp, .3gp,

.3g2, .dvr-ms, .vro, .flv, f4v, .amv, .rm, .rmm, .rv, .rmvb, .mkv

Is there any kind of program what can do this? If not how should I do it myself? Where should I start to learn to make it?
