Convert FLV to AVI

[Alan]

Anyone know a good program that can do this?.

I've tried a few but I have had various problems.

 

[bwana]

What have you tried?

 

[Goobie]

I've used SUPER, with very good results. It is free with no embedded watermarks or ads.

Tried SUPER but couldn't get it to work .

Also tried Replay Converter but I am missing some codec it seems.

Keep working on Super, it's what I'd recommend, it's a fantastic program.

Hi,

I use IMTOO Mpeg encoder, and works fabulous.

But you will have to buy a license for it.

If u want a free one, Super is as good.

If you're using linux just use ffmpeg.

FWIW, a quick elG turned up this bunch (among others on the search page) ..may be worth looking at?

Downloading from youtube are we?

Quicktime Pro seems to do it quite easily.

Thanks for the replys. Got it to work with "Total Video Converter"

i use VLC regularly to convert from anything to anything. a little difficult to get to know, but once you know how it works, you won't use another media player/converter again!

You can use it to convert to another format?

Must investigate this - thanks.

EDIT - found it - Awesome!

BTW - what settings do you use to encapsulate to AVI?

 

[GangStarr]

but y would you want to do it like that? from youtube (and other) you get poor quality and sound.
download the videos when its been encoded to mpg or sum

Sorry man, don't mean to insult you.... IMTOO, sheza NO GOOD for anything and not free!!!!

Also, try mediacoder http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/.

It is also free, and like Super, I think it uses ffmpeg compiled for windoze. Though, so far I have found Super produces better quality with easier access to the settings, which can also be saved to a profile, which makes life very easy if you are transcoding to various different platforms like particular mobile phones for instance.

VLC also does a capable job, though it seems to have problems with some flv files in my personal experience.

ffmpeg -i myvideo.flv -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -s 320x240 myvideo.mpg

ffmpeg -i myvideo.flv -ar 48000 -ac 2 myvideo.avi

Um. I'm new at this ... what's the process for downloading videos from youtube ? I thought you couldn't 'keep' streamed videos ?
