Digital Signposts: Very useful indeed!

Very useful indeed!

Good

Downloading FLV files from YouTube et al isn't always straightforward. Up till now I have used a combination of the Firefox Video Downloader extension, and iSquint to capture the FLV files for viewing offline, or on other devices. I have been experimenting with the Vixy FLV Converter which makes this a one step process... and it is fast. The browser based service converts the FLV files to a useful selection of formats, including 3gp for mobile phones.

Howdy...couldn't you use Democracy Player (FOSS)? It plays FLV video files without problem.

Hi Miguel

You are right,I blogged about this a while ago http://theok.typepad.com/digital_signposts/2005/10/dtv.html and it is on my list to cover again, because there have been some significant improvements and upgrades since then.

Best wishes
Theo
