An FLV converter...

[Rinöa]

So I wanted to make a DVD of all these video files I downloaded from Youtube. At the time I saved them as FLV. But the DVD maker (Intervideo WinDVD) doesn't support FLVs. I wondered if their was a way to conver the files to anything else, or if there was another DVD maker. I do not want to redownload these files, as I have a 56k connection and it would take me hours to find them all again. Please recommend anything free, or at least a trial version with no time limit. Thanks for any help. :)

Does no one care?

Apparently the Riva FLV Encoder (http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?encoder&L=3) can not only turn AVI, MPEG, Quicktime, and WMV files into FLV, but also do the reverse. I haven't tried it yet, but it's worth a shot. You can also try the Total Video Converter (http://www.effectmatrix.com/total-video-converter/index.htm).

Hope that helps. :)

Riva is the the best of the rest, unfortunately. I tried it a while ago after searching for hours upon hours for a decent one that doesn't mess up the audio/video sync, and it appears all of them use ffmpeg, and thus, yield the same results.
Riva will work for some flvs, but if you have one with a still picture, it will interpret it as a single frame for as long as the picture remains on screen. Thus shortening the video and messing up the sync.

All except <a href="http://www.moyea.com/">Moyea Flash 2 Video Converter</a>. It actually uses a live capture of the video rather than processing the raw data directly, so it worked perfectly. The only drawback is that it leaves a nasty watermark in the middle of the video until you pay for it. :{

Suffice to say I didn't want the video <i>that</i> badly.
