Easy FLV to DVD conversion?

[Beavis]

Can someone recommend a fairly easy way (with free tool if possible) to convert FLV video (with AVC / AAC codecs, from Youtube) into a DVD-ready MPG file?

The only thing I have now that can read the FLV is Avidemux, but with that I have to convert to AVI first then encode after that. Is there anything simpler? Thanks.

I just loaded a youtube flv into Avidemux & encoded straight to mpg no problem?

Hi Beavis,

Try Freemake Video Converter. It'll read .flv & transcode to MPG. It'll also burn them straight to DVD, but I'm not sure if the DVD's are standalone DVD player compliant.

For some reason Avidemux chokes on the audio in the original FLV and refuses to process it.

I'll have to take a look at Freemake.

Anything else? Tnx

I would look at AVStoDVD, with the FFVideoSource your flv should load up fine, plus you have the option to tweak the pre-made avisynth script with filter/deblocking options to optimise the flv quality.

WinFF is another down-and-dirty one-clicker, tho'.
