Youtube FLV convertors ...
I bought me a new laptop and in Windows 7 infinate wisdom, won't play my saved Youtube videos in their flv format.
Anbody know of a good (free) convertor program to convert these so I can watch them? I have way too many to re-download them.
And also, what's the best format to convert them to? Reasonably quality vs. file size.

Just look for a stand-alone .flv player, you should be able to find some free. I've got several I've downloaded for the mac, but they are out there for the PC crowd, too.

The ones I've found so far either leave a watermark in the conversion or only convert 3 minutes worth of video...

You can download codecs to make media player play flv files, mp4 files, whatever. The hard part is finding out which codecs are good and legit and which are bad news or worse. I have no suggestions for you, I've just taken a swing over the years and sometimes they work and sometimes they cause me headaches. So far I've been pretty good with my antivirus setup that I've never had serious issues.
This will play damn near anything: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
For conversion software, total video converter is nice, but not free. It seems to be somewhat limited by the codecs you have available.
I'm still looking for something that will let me break down vids into clips.

anysoft video converter is free and theres no limits on file size.
heres a freeware site thats legit.
http://www.snapfiles.com/screenshots/anyvidcon.htm
This is the codec package from microsofts website.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
For Windows 7 and vista,you can download realplayer from there
own site.Its free,plays flv and incorporates into explorer.
As for splitting movie files,download windows moviemaker
2.6. Convert the flv to wmv,load the video into
moviemaker and edit it.All free. The converter will also
change formats to make a dvd movie.

Ok, I had a power outage last night and it killed my codecs so I had to re-install. I can say with authority that the codecs I'm using are called K-Lite and they let you play 3gp's, Mp4's, and FLVs on top of all the other "normal" formats. So if you want to do a search for k-lite, that's what I'm using and it works. Lets you play those formats in media player.
Then again, I'm running XP, so make sure you check k-lites web page and be sure they're win 7 compatible.

BTW, I got these for free, so if you find that they're listed with a price on the web page, keep searching 'til you find the free versions.
