Converting .flv to .avi, .mpeg, etc

**Shadows Fall** · 09/21/07, 12:45 AM

I just recently downloaded a few videos off of YouTube but all the videos come in a format called .flv. Problem is, I don't know how to convert it into other video formats such as .avi and others that would work for Windows Media Player. Anyone know how to convert it?

Stop using Windows Media Player
Alternative source

I do not know quite how to do that, but personally use a program called vdownloader (search for it using google). It is a free program that downloads the youtube videos and as it downloads converts it into avi (and a few other formats). .avi files can also play in Windows Media Player if that is what you wish to use. I hope that helps some.

There's a program I use called SUPER. It gets the job done.

Oh, you could also try vixy.net or media-convert.com.

I use divx. Never had any problems viewing files or creating amvs on windows movie maker, so you can even use the windows programs.
