Googled that one, seems shareware-only. There are so many such apps around I see little reason to go for payware (for my needs).

This program is ok, I have been using VideoGet for a while for downloading and converting movies, I recommend it.

Yeah, I like K-Lite a lot. :) VLC player is nice as well. But they are both software solutions that must be installed.

Video converters are more often used to make video compatible with non-Windows devices – DVD players, mobile phones, tablets, etc.

K-Lite codec pack (see the review on this site) is also an option for playing flv and other formats, without installing another mediaplayer. I use it and it makes Windows Mediaplayer eat anything.

Opening file to watch it and opening it to edit are very different things. :)

Well, if opening a flv file is the problem, just get the VLC player and you’ll be able play them. Converting media files nearly always results in quality loss.

Good stuff buddy. This article caught my attention as I’m getting into video blogging. I could use it if I ever need to integrate something from a youtube video in one of my video for whatever reason. Most video editing software have no problems with avi (while I’m not to sure about flv) and that’s usually what I convert my videos to so it’s good.
