Media Convert
Media Convert is the Swiss Army Knife converter for online free media and file format conversion. It supports a lot of file formats from text documents, sound, audio, ringtones, images to videos. For purpose of this article, we will focus on its feature and ability to convert FLV file to another video format.
Media Convert allows users to submit FLV videos located on local hard drive of the computer in File mode, or URL mode that requires the URL or link location to the the FLV file that is located on web server. Unlike FLV Online Converter, Media Convert does not support automatic detection of FLV direct download link location for FLV embedded and playable on web pages. So users have to determine the correct URL the will link and access to the FLV video before using Media Convert.
So users need to find out the URL or link location to the flash video first before using Media Convert. If you want to convert FLV video on your PC, or you already have direct link to the videos (such as http://sjc-v9.sjc.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=qLTXrS2LlRA) then you can skip the steps to detect and reveal the video’s URL. For example, to download a Youtube video and convert it directly to another format such as AVI, follow the following steps:
- To find out the URL or web page link to the FLV video clip in Youtube or Google Video, go to www.videodl.org or any other website that will detect the direct download link of the flash video so that users can download the video directly)
- Input by copy and paste the URL or link location of the Youtube page that contains the video you want to download.
- Click on “Get it” or “Download” or “Start” or whatever applicable.
- The video direct download service will return a link to download the FLV video directly. Right click on the download link and select “Copy Link Location” (for Firefox) or “Copy Shortcut” (for IE). There is no need to actually download the video itself, as if you download now, the video will be in FLV format.
- Come back to www.media-convert.com.
- Set the URL mode by clicking on URL radio button.
- Copy and paste the URL that generated by videodl.org (or another other video downloading service you used).
- Select the appropriate input format (i.e. FLV, you can try Automatic Detection).
- Select the preferred output format (supported format include .avi, .mpg, .mp4, .3gp, .mov, .amv and .swf).
- Click Convert.
Media-Convert will download and convert the video for you. Once finished and ready, Media Convert will display a download link to the converted format video file, which is usable to download the video clips for up to 6 days.

Vixy, the proper name of the first converter you wrote about, is the worst, most unrelyable converter online; there’s a 60% failure rate & a 60% chance of bloat; a thing that makes a 5 minute mp3 register as being 35 minutes & can only be corrected by using iTunes to convert the mp3 into another mp3.
http://www.flv2mp3.com/flv-to-mp3.html & it’s mirror http://www.flv2mp3.com/flv-to-mp3.html were one of the best until they went down; probably due to lack of donations. Now the best one is ListenToYouTube.com, whish is fast & shows the progress & time, but still slower & bloat-adding compareed to the now-gone mirrored converters.

Youtube no ha cambiado la forma d mostrar la URL de los videos desplegados, en cambio Grinvi si. Ahora Grinvi no muestra en la barra de direccioón la URL del video, solo muestra la de inicio de página. Antes de ello se podía obtener y bajar por ejemplo con VDownloader, pero ahora no, ¿como puedo descargar en este momento los videos de Grinvi?, esperando que Youtube no cambie también su visualizaión.
Muchas gracias por la ayuda
