If you use TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 (or a similar app probably).



So long as you have the Wimpy FLV player installed and an up to date free ffdshow codec pack, TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring can open edit and produce mpeg 2 or DVD (or DivX or other formats) from FLV files.



Use it regularly for this, use the all files option (*.*) to open the FLV, big advantage is they can be edited easily with the app, for example you can insert clips into other video you might have.

I use Axara Video Converter, mainly for online videos for websites and such, but it works with FLV as well. :) I haven't had any problems with it, and it's very easy to use.

I have KLite mega codec pack,and among others, use DVD Flick to convert files and burn to DVD disk.

Flick doesn't, but then it's freeware unlike some others that claim to be.



I'm a bit of a Youtube freak and I wonder if you have this downloader. If you keep it updated, it always works (so far). Downloads as flv, avi and mpeg. Others if you pay and also other sites if you pay.

Hope I'm not teaching you suck eggs, because I myself know very little in effect.



Another piece of handy freeware I've been using is this converter, which extracts mp3 files from most of the common video formats flv avi mpeg wmv etc.

I've been taking YT vids and making audio CD's . Dead easy to use, but best to keep to one file at a time to avoid probs in my experience so far.



Free Audio Extractor, Extract audio from video, Convert AVI to MP3, WMV to MP3, MPEG to WAV AC3



Best stop now and let the experts take over!

Super doesn't either, I use it to convert audio too, very good.

I don't know if it's been mentioned by anyone, but there are a few sites that seem to offer an online conversion



KeepVid: Download videos from Google, Youtube, iFilm, Putfile, Metacafe, DailyMotion!

vixy.net : Online FLV Converter : Download online videos direct to PC / iPod / PSP. It's free!

I can advise to you Flash to Video Encoder Pro. This prog do what you need. I tested it and now if I want to convert something, then I use this prog.

I hope it will help

If you have Quicktime installed (or use a Mac) then this free little plug in

Perian

will let you open and convert flv files. Amazingly good!

The one I use all the time is called 'Riva FLV Encoder'.Its a freeware tool and comes with all the 'standard' codecs you need, and others can be obtained (free). It usually converts an FLV file to AVI in just under 'real time' so that ,say, a three minute FLV will convert in about two and a half minutes! Once you have your AVI, you then only have to use your preferred method of burning to dvd!
