To setup like 20 downloads and walk away would be awesome.:)
Converting from flash to other video codecs on the fly would nice as well.:D My tv can't play flash files so I have to convert everything to avi, it takes double the time.

One more thing, the converter part doesn't work well either. The converted files start out in sync and then very rapidly get out of sync. In the first few minutes it's off by a couple of frames, but after about ten minutes it's off by a few seconds. It's not a big deal though, I can always use some other software to do the conversions. I've tested xvid avi, ipod mp4, and supervcd and they all do the same thing.:eek:

This is due to the flv container bug in GetFLV. I have suggested the problem to getflv, but maybe getflv could just compare the flv container built by save2pc Ultimate, as it is built correctly for flv files containing h264.

I'm not necessarily recommending save2pc ultimate over getflv, as each program can download sources that the other can't. It is handy to have both programs. The various sites have definitely been trying to stop both programs over that past couple of weeks, so frequent updating is required.

Which player do you use for playback to your tv? You mentioned avi, but what codecs are supported by your player in the avi container? There may be a faster method to get the files in a format compatible with your set-top player.

I don't have any set top box, my tv has a usb port and I can plug in a hard drive and play files off it. I've only been able to play .mpg and .avi files though. Flash files don't play at all. I've been using the xvid mpeg-4 codec from prism converter. It's a little slow but the avi files are perfectly in sync.

Hi getflv, I still have the crash problem, I have been attempting to download one video at the time. Thanks for your efforts in resolving this problem.
