I like Moyea Flash to Video Converter , 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. It is cheap, but supports lots of formats and is very powerful

yes, i see a lot of useful tools for converting here, but don't see the one i use Geovid Flash to Video Encoder PRO. Quite a good program that supports many video formats

By the way I know 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!
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):

Then use VirtualDubMod to convert to DivX or Xvid
