Hi,

My computer has Windows 98se. I have a folder with several .FLV
files I have collected from YouTube.

I am frustrated trying to find a GOOD YouTube FLV file(s) converter to
convert those .FLV files to either AVI or MPG format so I can play them on my
older Windows 95 computers.

I can view these .FLV files using a FLV player just fine on my Windows 98
computer, but I gave up trying to find a FLV player that works in Windows 95.

If you have Windows 98 and used a FLV converter several times without
any problems, please tell me the name and where you downloaded it.

Thanks in advance, Brad

For unrelated reasons I recently came across a few but did not
make notes. Google and bring a box of patience with you.

I DID bookmark a few:

http://www.neoretix.com/
http://www.bytessence.com/bamvc.html
http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/download.html
http://arrozcru.no-ip.org/ffmpeg_builds/

All untested by me, I am not into video that much.

Personally, I don't see much point in converting. Most FLV's are
such awful quality you will only get a bigger file which will
look just as crappy.

I haven't tried it (or MAY have but just don't remember) but I
am pretty sure Riva FLV player will work on 95.

Look for a program called Save2PC. It is normally listed here

google it.
