From .flv to avi

[venus]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me? I have a bunch of .flv videos that I want to convert into .avi or any other format that supports DVD players so that I can watch them on my DVD player.

Thanks for any help

(BTW, I searched arround and found nothing that can help me)

use the perian plug in for QT and save as mov files, from there you can use mpeg2works, ffmpeg, or visualhub to convert to mpeg2 files...what kind of work do you do in kuwait?

Thank you for replying, how do you save as mov? I actually have perian installed already but when I click on it nothing comes out.

I work in an oil company in the training division

I use SUPER. It works great without any trouble. I can even batch process multiple .flv videos at once.

There is no Mac version of SUPER

why not cut out the middle man and use VisualHub period?
Open Visualhub, select the .avi tab,
drag and drop you .flvs into the bottom window,
click convert.

If you need to do it through Quicktime, Perian is a Codec for
Quicktime, that enables the Quicktime Player Pro* to open .flv files
and play or transcode them to other formats, such as .avi.

So with Perian 1.1 installed, Open Quicktime Player Pro.
Then go File-->Open and select the first .flv file.
Then go to File-->Export, and select .avi file as the choice,
and then if necessary, fine tweak the selection, choosing
the codecs for audio and video.( I reccommend Apple-Photo Jpeg-A
for video, and AIF 16bit for video.) Then click ok, and then save
to the Hard Drive. Quicktime Player Pro will transcode the
file properly using Perian 1.1.

( *Note: You'll need to have bought the Quicktime Pro upgrade for this
Player to upgrade to Pro status, and thus be able to transcode
files from one format to another.)
