I'm looking for a flv converter to convert files from you tube so that I can play them on media player.

You could try videora. use it to convert videos for the iphone but you can play then on your computer too.

The K-Lite codec pack has the codecs for playing FLV files.

I use the inclued version of Media Player classic as I do not think VLC is a mature enough player yet

I'm looking for a flv converter to convert files from you tube so that I can play them on media player.

For FVL I use

To view/play them as FLV file:

FLV player1.3.3

To convert :

SUPER v 2008

SUPER © does for FREE what other encoders CAN'T do for money.

Arestube.com

Compatable with pretty much every video sharing site, and will save the files in whatever format you choose.

Why does windows media player not just play the flv's?

Why all these difficult geek programs

Why not have a standard right-click in ie7 or firefox to save or convert them

Am i missing something?

You can try Flash to Video Encoder...

I've been using freeware from DVDVideoSoft:

http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/F...be-Download.htm

as a one-stop down-loader and converter. I convert to MP4 (PSP, iTouch/pod) and AVI (PC/DVD).

Also supports batch downloading and converting.

FWIW, the OP could also get a free FLV player...

Aunsoft flv converter is a good one. It can convert flv files to other videos including AVI, MPEG, MOV, WMV, MP4, 3GPP. Then you can view the output videos with Media Player. It is easy to use and the conversion speed is fast. Moreover, with it, you can crop the displaying area, add water mark, show or hide the background color and choose the transparency, frame size etc.

As stumonster says, media player/K lite mega pack, I find it plays anything.

Flash To Video Encoder isn't free, but costs not so expensive! The quality is great!!!
