Hi all,

I've downloaded some youtube videos direct from the site as .flv files (by double clicking the file address in the Activity window). None of my usual video conversion utilities seem to be able to handle transcoding these files, I get error messages and crashes on attempting with Turbo.264, Visualhub, Toast and Handbrake. I've got Perian installed and can play the files in QT or VLC but want to export them to another device. Any thoughts? Never had this problem with youtube downloads before.

Thanks in advance

You might want to try FLV Crunch. It doesn’t do wmv9 and generates some artifacts in most other formats, but it’s free and fast. I quite like it.

Download it using VideoBox from TasyApps.com

It's simpler to just download them as MP4 directly.
