How to convert FLV videos to MP3
Since most FLV video files use MP3 audio, the best choice is to extract it and avoid recompression.

[/URL]I like [URL="http://all-streaming-media.com/convert-audio-video-files/FLV-to-Video-Converter-Convert-Flash-Video-to-DVD-iPod-PSP-AVI-MP4-MPEG-WMV-3GP-MOV-MP3.htm"]Moyea Flash to Video Converter (http://all-streaming-media.com/convert-audio-video-files/FLV-to-Video-Converter-Convert-Flash-Video-to-DVD-iPod-PSP-AVI-MP4-MPEG-WMV-3GP-MOV-MP3.htm) , because it can convert not only .flv flash video files, but also .swf and .exe flash files. But it costs $99.95, so at least try it before buying.

And I also like AVS Video Converter (http://all-streaming-media.com/convert-audio-video-files/AVS-Video-Converter-Convert-HD-Video-TOD-MOD-AVI-DivX-Xvid-MP4-PSP-iPod-WMV-MOV-SWF-DVD-VOB-FLV.htm). It is cheap, but supports lots of formats and is very powerful

By the way I know vidflash.com (http://www.vidflash.com) also can convert one formats to another (flash to video; video to flash etc...). It's not a software but service. It's for free too as I know. And it supports Mac too. :)

Usually it is better to have the original videos and have the ability to convert them in batches. Thus you have the best quality original videos and you can convert them using a format, codec and settings that suits you the best.

Although you may find this service very useful for you.

Hi Stream Recorder! :)
I agree with you. Service has some pluses. I just said there is one more way for people who use Mac. May be for somebody it will be useful! That's all!:D
It is great if there are different way to solve problems!

P.S. Thanks for suggest but I recently get another service at geovid. I have enough of it:)

To convert FLV files to AVI/DivX files,I use Dr. DivX (but it does not work with FLV4 files):

http://labs.divx.com/DrDivX

For FLV4 files,use FLV Extract to separate the video (saved as avi with FLV codec) and the audio (saved as mp3):

http://moitah.net/#FLVExtract

Then use VirtualDubMod to convert to DivX or Xvid

Here is how how to convert flash .FLV videos to DivX, Xvid,... using using free AviSynth and VirtualDub (Windows):

Get an FLV Splitter, install ffdshow and enable the FLV1 decoder (I use K-Lite codec pack).
Install AVISynth.
Use VirtualDub or your AVI encoder of choice.

Does the freeware SUPER (http://all-streaming-media.com/convert-audio-video-files/SUPER-Simplified-Universal-Player-Encoder-Renderer-freeware-video-converter.htm) have any bugs or trojans or something like that?

Does the freeware SUPER have any bugs or trojans or something like that?

I prefer freeware MediaCoder (http://all-streaming-media.com/convert-audio-video-files/MediaCoder-freeware-audio-video-conversion-software-for-Windows.htm) to SUPER (http://all-streaming-media.com/convert-audio-video-files/SUPER-Simplified-Universal-Player-Encoder-Renderer-freeware-video-converter.htm). Both programs are OK. I wish they have a better interface though.

And I don't think these programs will have any spyware/malware if you download them from official source. But you should always check your downloads with a reliable antivirus software like Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Kaspersky Internet Security (http://all-streaming-media.com/non-streaming/Kaspersky-Internet-Security-Kaspersky-Anti-Virus.htm).

It was downloaded from the official site (SUPER). My antivirus shows suspicious files when the programme is started and quarantines them.

For converting raw video files into flv I use the EasyFLV (http://www.easyflv.com/) converter from as well as their multitrack and batch streaming software.

Here are a lot of different types I have tried but I found this good enough to buy myself and I have had no problems or complaints as yet.

On Linux most of the current players can play FLV files directly. But sometimes I run across machines with outdated software, then I move the data into some other container. MP4 or MKV usually work.

ffmpeg -i somefile.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy somefile.mkv

Takes just a few seconds because it transfers the raw data unchanged, only the file headers are modified.

ffmpeg does work well for moving from a flv container to a mkv container, but in my experience it doesn't work well for moving to a mp4 container; at least if you want to be able to ff/rew or skip through the resulting output file with any of the many media players I've tried.
