I hate to use the cliche, but this is the video converter swiss army knife. I am truely amazed at how often I find myself opening up this program. Any video converter has been able to convert everything I have thrown at it. Here are the conversions that it supports. Ten different types of media! Very impressive.
- DVD Video NTSC (mpg)
- DVD Video PAL (mpg)
- MPEG-I (mpg)
- MPED-II (mpg)
- Flash Video Movie (flv)
- Mobile Phone MPEG-4 (mp4)
- AVI Movie (avi)
- Windows Media WMV (wmv)
- MP4 Movie (mp4)
- Wave Audio (wav)
The most important one to me is the FLV conversion. Just about any video you wish to put on the web works great in FLV. Or if you have an FLV and want to edit the file in Windows Movie Maker, just convert it to AVI, or WMV, bingo.
Look at the screen shot below to see all the options you have when converting. (this is the flash file options)
There is a free version and a paid version of the Any Video Converter software. So far the free version has been able to do everything I need without any problems. I would highly recommend this program for your video conversion needs.
Also did I mention that you can pull out video directly from You Tube? Yes, it will do that as well.
