Hitrec at VideoHelp forum introduces a software called RivaFLVencoder which able you to convert .flv files (Flash Video) into avi and mpg files. This is extremely useful when you download youtube or google videos and you don’t like it play in flv player. With this conversion, you can play google videos in many systems, such as iPod Video. One catch: Most of the time, audio can be transcoded to the target format. However sometimes audio codec cannot not be transcoded, you can follow this instruction to mux that back into the target file:
… It’s possible that the .flv contains an audiocodec that will not be transcoded. A solution for that is to play the original .flv and record the audio with Audacity (for instance) and to mux that recording with the .avi or .mpg you get from Riva…

how to convert .gvp(google videos) to avi?

file -> export -> export movie -> filetype : *.AVI
Imtoo avi to mpeg converter does decode flv extension to avi or other format
Conversion is pretty good if flv is of good quality
The best option is to encode flv to swf and then decode this to avi it improves resolution
[...] Agora o chato é que esses sites baixam os vídeos em formato FLV (flash), ai você que usar um conversor para passar para outro formato. Mas ainda há uma outra alternativa… [...]
thanks
In answer to the gvp question, you can do either of two things:
1. download VDownloader from here: http://www.enriquepuertas.com/wp-content/files/vdownloader.zip
or
2. open the file in notepad, and search for everything after the text “url:” and before the text “docid:” paste that into your browser, and it should download it.
I tried to download video from google.but failed after I tried both the ways.
I downloaded .avi file from youtube which is working but the file which i have downloaded from google videos is not working.
is there any way to find appropriate .flv for these 2 sites….
Imtoo AVI to MPEG converter DOES DECODE .flv EXTENSION to AVI OR OTHER FORMAT WITH VERY GOOD QUALITY, DON’T BEAT AROUND THE BUSH

Hi – I’ve downloaded and tried half a dozen programmes that claim to convert .flv to .avi or .mpg, all failed. But I then came up with this – maybe just a fluke, but it did the trick easily and with excellent results….
1) Played the flv video on the original website.
2) Found the flv file in Temporary Internet Files on my hard drive.
3) Copied flv file to another folder and changed the extension to .mpg
4) Imported the file into Cyberlink Power Director 3 (a video editing program that came as freeware on a magazine disc, probably a download somewhere if you google for it).
5) Produced the movie as a DV quality .avi file (.mpg options also available).
6) Perfect result!!!!!
