using .flv files

my windows dvd maker and movie maker both can't import .flv files. I
downloaded codec's so my media player can play them but I can't do anything
else. I downloaded windows media encoder 9 to try and convert the files to
..wmv but there's an error with the audio codec that won't let me convert it.
I downloaded the appropriate hotfix for the codec error but it didn't solve
the problem. Using the .flv files is my goal so helping me in anyway would
be muchly appreciated.

hello..

you will need a special FLV to AVI (or other type) of file, converter.

I have seen and used many of them... have you done a search on google for
this???
Here is a good one http://www.flvsoft.com/flv_to_video/

I would NOT suggest you use a microsoft app like media encoder to do this..
its full of troubles...

To view FLV, I use the outstanding gomplayer www.gomplayer.com

to download them from youtube and video google( and others) or even convert
them on-the-fly to various formats I use free download manager that
supports downloading and converting them www.freedownloadmanager.org


I hope this is of some use to you
