A WMM alternative which can use FLV clips?

Question

Im wanting to make a youtube video of some Madden NFL 09 clips but when i download them they are in FLV format and Windows Movie Maker cannot use them, anyone know an easy to use alternative?

Answer 1

I think there is not.

Convert the video in some other format and then use it.

OR

Again download the video using 'Free Download Manager'. It can convert downloaded flv videos.

Answer 2

You can easily first convert the video online and then download it.

Go to www.zamzar.com, there select url in the first step and copy paste the url of the video you are downloading. Enter further details as per your wish. It will give you an option for converting. You will be able to download in the converted and WMM compatible format.

Or you could upload an already downloaded file on Zamzar and it will convert it for you for free.

Hope this helps.

EDIT - Oh yes that might happen. I'm sorry but I can't think of any other alternative to WMM except Sony Vegas Pro. But it's not free. Also, you may try converting it to .avi, but I'm not sure if it will retain the quality.

EDIT 2 - I was searching on the net and found that Adobe Premiere supports editing of .flv files. To do this firstly you will have to install Adobe Premiere, and then download this add-on for it which helps Premiere edit .flv files:

This way you will be able to edit flv files in Adobe Premiere without losing the video quality.

Hope this helps.
