I downloaded a bunch of internet videos and am trying my hand at making a movie. I have Sony Vegas (which I love), but it doesn't recognize flv videos.

The latest Real Player lets you download videos, but they are all in the ".flv" format.

I googled a program and installed it and my computer crashed. No more experimenting for me.

Does anyone know of a free converter for flv videos?

SUPER. It'll convert almost anything to almost anything else. I use it to convert my FLVs.

For something different, but similar:

I've had a lot of success using Tversity:
http://tversity.com/home

My setup for the short-term is to use this to transcode any xvid or divx on-the-fly and stream them to my roommates's PS3 which comes with a built in interface to communicate with Media Servers such as Tversity and watch them on a larger monitor in the living room.

This is different from what the OP requires, but is fairly neat [Smile]

Thank you Lisa for SUPER. It is exactly what I needed to convet to AVI and MPEG-4. I used it and it worked. I think you reccomended it before.

Is there a way I can tell it to place the output file in a specific location instead of the C:?

Thank you everyone for all your information. I found a lot of other cool sies! Hurray for Hatrack!

Glad you like it. Right-click and choose Output File Saving Management. That'll let you choose the output folder.
