Is there a better way flv conversion

[talx]

At the moment i download flv files using an 'add on' in Firefox named 'ants video downloader' but seeing that flv files wont open in my video editor i have to convet them i use 'Any video converter ver 2.7.2' and convert them to mpeg 1
it works ok a few glitches, what i like to know is there a better way of doing this, idealy i would like an app' that i could import the flv file into do a bit of editing add a sound track give it chapters and a menu and out put it as a dvd, is there such a thing out there, i know im asking something here, and for free, this is what i do now but i have to convert these files, as iv stated above, as my video editor wont import flv files, thanks all.

I prefer to use format factory to convert flvs. It hasn't had problems on mine. I get them from hulu, youtube and the like.

EDIT - I don't know if there are any editors that support flv directly. That is not likely to be the case. Conversion will most likely be required.

Try Avidemux.
And if you do convert it, MPEG1 is a pretty low quality format. Use eg Xvid in AVI.
