Freeware (Opensource) Video Converter (flv, avi, asf, 3gp, etc)
At this present day, audio, video conversion affairs are simple job. At the past, it is possible to have free video conversion program, but there are many limitations on it. Instead of video conversion like Flash Video (FLV) which has been video standardization on internet, there only little free software is available. One of video services on internet is YouTube which is one biggest video services in the world with millions hit a day. Flash Player is used as their video format file which is only could play by web browser (on Mozilla Firefox, you could use a certain plugins to download FLV file from YouTube).
By its substantiality of audio video format file, occasionally we need to convert those format file to be one general format which could play on every audio video player or even convert it to be VCD. To do this, use FFmpeg which is developed by ffmpeg team. Actually FFmpeg is a compilation of various libraries that used to record, play, and convert vary of audio video format file. This library has been used by most of applications/projects. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it has been compiled into various format, thus could be used by almost every operating system like Windows.
This project actually consist some of components, among other is ffmpeg which is command line tool to convert one video format file to another. Another component is ffplay, which is simple media player that might be used to play various video format file. And there are few other components, you could see this on Wikipedia about FFmpeg for complete explanation, or you could visit its website directly.
Someone who has expertise on command prompt could download application straight ahead from library ffmpeg and convert the file through command line. But it is hard for some others people, so that it needs additional tools or applications to make an ease. Considering on too much features, thus lot of projects develop based on this library. One of them is WinFF. By using this program which is made using Lazarus Program, we can easily convert vary of audio as well as video, including FLV format file.
Have to be remembered not all FLV file could be converted, because there is possibility FLV file using the latest codec technology. To see more projects are using FFmpeg click here
