SWF file is an Adobe flash file format which contains videos and vector based animations. Programmers can generate SWF files from within several Adobe products. SWF files may also occur in programs, commonly browser games, using ActionScript. The original purpose of SWF files was to create small files for displaying entertaining animations, built by a small company called FutureWave Software. On July 1, 2008, Adobe released code to Google and Yahoo, which allowed their search engines to crawl and index SWF files.
WebM is an audiovisual media file format. WebM is perfect for HTML5 video and the HTML5 audio elements. The video container was Initially developed by On2, Xiph, and Matroska.

In a matter of seconds (typically) you will see the video, with it's metadata on the right. At the top of the metadata you will see a format dropdown button. The default will be webm, but you can change the format on the fly, once you're happy, you can click the convert button.
