FLV is a flash format, so i don't think you can just convert it like a regular AVI or MPG video. i haven't tried, but i *think* you may be able to use a SWF to AVI converter with FLV videos. i'm not 100% sure, but i guess it's worth a shot.

@Jackaxe, your webpage only shows programs to help you download the video file. but if the streamed media is in FLV format, you're still going to be stuck with it.

I honestly didn't read through the page, I just glanced the header and posted it. *sorry*

OK, this might work, meaning that it doesn't work with all FLV variants from what I've read;
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/v...oders/super.cfm

To ramble about myself. Me me me me. I've been using Flash since 2.0 and have been building video demos since version 6. I've encoded hundreds upon hundreds of FLVs. I own all of the software to do so. Blah blah blah blah.

firstly thank you guys for your help, I'm working on a web client that must record a user's speech and send it to a speech processing application on a linux server, this application accept only wav file so I must convert my audio flv file to wav file.
JackAxe, thanks but I can't use your solution because it works only on windows...
But ffmpeg is normally able to do that, I can't understand why I got this problem...
If you know any other solution that works on linux I'll be very happy

thanks

JackAxe

If you just need the audio, why not simply record from your line-out/headphone jack into to your line-in? It's not the best solution, but you would just need to edit the audio clip and cut off any excess.

I'm not sure if Linux can play back a FLV? I was reading recently that Flash Play 9 (Which is FP 8.5) will finally bring it to the Linux platform.

I've had to do this a few times for videos I've gotten that were using audio formats that none of the conversion apps on my Mac or PC could recognize. (I always convert incoming videos to an uncompressed MOV before working with them, this way I'm not re-compressing it more than it needs to be.)

I also use this method when capturing video from phone emulators. It frees up some of the PC's CPU time, so that it can better handle the emulator and screen capture and not worry about also capturing the audio, which it generally messes up anyway. I don't like to spend money on my PC's software, so I use whatever I can find for free that will do the job. The Mac gets all of my software budget.

Super not bad.

I often use F2V by geovid.

hm... just the other day i was toying around with QuickTime's file association prefs to get a MQV movie file to play (from my Clie) and noticed the "*.flv" extention...

perhaps a QuickTime Movie converter program could convert the FLV format to MPG or something? just a shot in the dark, but i figured you might want to know if it helps at all...

I apologize if I'm late.

Why don't you ask QuickTime's tech support could their prog convert FLV format to video. I'm sure they know.

Or you may try another converter. For example Flash to Video Encoder PRO. It's worth software too that importing swf/flv files to video (support many video formats!).

About Flash to Video Encoder PRO:


Good Luck!

I have a good news for you.With v7.7 of winavi video converter,you can convert .flv to avi,dvd or other formats.
Wish that can help you.Good luck

dmitrygr

all flvs can be converted to avi using your favorite conversion program, assuming you have the flv splitter directshow filter. however, some of the newer flvs you VP6 for video, a decoder for this codec does not exist for windows, so converting these files produces audio only.

VLC Media Player can play FLV files. Heck, it can literally play anything.

Better yet, if the vid came from the net, and you remember the address of the file, copy and paste it into Vixy . It can convert the file into several different types, and you can pick the one you want, convert, and download it.

It's free, and works well.
