Programs like Miro can locate and download videos from the web, from such places as YouTube, but they're often in the .flv format. Even the Pro version of QuickTime won't play them (QT Player claims "this is not a movie file").
You can watch .flv video files with SWF & FLV Player (a free download off Apple's website), but if you want to drop one of these videos into some video editor like iMovie or Final Cut, you can't do it. They don't accept .flv. So you have to covert .flv to something that these editing programs can use, such as .mov for QuickTime. The best video converter I've seen that can do it is called Amerisoft Video Converter <http://tinyurl.com/5r2h8s>, but the demo watermarks the videos until you pay them $35 for a license. Does anybody know of a good free converter that can change .flv to .mov?
