[Dixielandjazz] Saving You tube and other videos

[Ric Giorgi]

Don, 

I use Pazera FLV to AVI Converter. It's simple, small and lets you
save from .flv to .avi or .mpg. There are others if you Google and
experiment and another converter may well work better for you than
this one.

Best of luck with it,

Ric

I've been following the thread on Saving You Tube videos, and now
I'm 
confused.

I downloaded RealPlayer 11, the free,bare bones, version and was 
delighted to be able to download several videos, including the one
of 
Kash's Canal Street Band.  But, the downloaded videos are .flv
files.  I 
then saw the post by Graham Martin about VDownloader, and thought
this 
was a program that would CONVERT the .flv files to Avi or something
I 
could then burn to a
DVD with Movie Maker or Roxio Media Creator.  Apparently this just 
downloads the same videos from You Tube into avi, which I guess is 
alright, except I have a bunch of flv files I've already downloaded,
and 
the pop up button right on YouTube is less involved than using 
VDownloader.  Are there any (preferably free) programs that do
convert 
directly from flv to avi?  BTW, what can you do with .flv files?  I 
guess you can just play them on RealPlayer.
