video conversion utilities

[dckm]

Can anyone recommend an application that’ll convert flv files to dvd or mpg format? i’ve got some stuff on my pc that i’d like to put on dvd to practice with and watching videos on pc can be a tad bit tedious.

Can you walk me through the you tube conversion. I can’t find any instructions for using this converter.

You need to download a video first from youtube. Either use a site like this:

http://keepvid.com/ to download the video and then convert it with WinFF

Or install Real player (http://real.com) install their software and it will allow you to download youtube/flash videos from the website.

haven’t tried it yet but i hope this works. the last utility i used converted the video but it had no sound and i wasted 3 blank dvds.

Once you get the video how you want it just burn the DVD with Windows Media Player, simple and it works

do you convert it to avi and then burn it to dvd or do you just convert the flv files straight to dvd format and then burn?

i converted the files. the sound came out well, but the picture was scrambled. i selected NTSC 16:9, I’m going to reconvert them with 4:3. if that doesn’t work I’ll find something else

Here’s a video on YouTube that explains how to do it:

This is the best free site I found to convert videos (you can only do 5 per day): http://www.mediaconverter.org/

Here’s another free site: http://www.mediaconverter.org/

Hope this helps you!

Oopps! That 2nd free site should be: http://www.zamzar.com/url/

After you covert a video on this site, it will email the converted video to you. It may take 5 minutes or a couple of hours to get it.

I liked this link this software provides functions for conversion but in my case the quality of the video file became poorer after conversion…
