Confused With So Many FLV Converters? Trust Our Advice and Check This One
Flash Video is a well-known file format used to deliver video over the Internet using the Adobe Flash Player versions 6–10.
The FLV Flash Video format is, as we all know, very popular nowadays. It’s easy to understand why the FLV format became so popular just by checking the most notable users of the Flash Video format: YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, Metacafe, etc. And they’re so many more…
Yet, the FLV is just one of the popular video formats used widely nowadays, and not the only one. There are still AVI, MPEG, MP4, WMV, 3GP, etc. – each one suited for specific situations, such as MP4 for some portable devices or 3GP for most of the modern mobile phones. Therefore many of us have probably already faced the need to convert a FLV file to other formats, either video or audio formats. Well, here might come the trouble. Searching for a FLV converter could get most of you really confused – there are truly a lot of FLV converters available on the Internet, all of them having pretty much the same prices, claiming to have pretty much the same cool features, even having quite similar names.
There’s a way to ease your choosing: trust this suggestion of ours, as we get to test quite a few of such converters every week and we can tell the difference between the good ones and the average ones, to say the least.
This one, the FLV to Video Converter Pro 2 from Moyea, combines the fast conversion speed with useful additional features, an easy-to-use interface, a good price and the high-quality of the output files, no matter their format.
To start with the beginning, installing this software is fast, simple and easy. Once launched, it will provide some useful tips in a small pop-up window, letting you know, for example, that the conversion settings are grayed out and unable to be changed until you add a FLV file to the conversion list.
Then you may check out the simple, intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Add a FLV file to the conversion list from the “Add FLV” button that you may find in the upper left area of the converter’s main window. What’s also special about this program is that you may add a FLV file from a specific folder but also directly from the Internet Explorer cache folder. That makes it easy to convert a FLV video you just watched a few moments ago using your Internet Explorer browser.
Once a FLV file added to the conversion list, you may preview it in a window on the right side of the converter’s interface. Various information about the currently loaded FLV file is also available above the preview window: the dimension of the loaded video (in pixels), the fps or the duration. By clicking the small icon on the top-left corner of the preview window, you will be able to view even more detailed information of the source FLV file – great feature for when you are adjusting the video and audio settings for your output file, including the playback duration, video codec, audio codec, etc. The detailed information is displayed on a semitransparent window, and thus won’t affect the operation.
Feel free then to easily choose the folder where you want the output file to be exported. This may sound like a not-so-important feature, but believe me, I’ve seen FLV converters that wouldn’t allow you to select the output folder, and you had to spend time to search on your computer for where the output files were saved.
As for the supported output formats, well, all that matters are supported: AVI, MP4, MPEG, 3GP, MOV, WMV, FLV, 3G2, WMA, AAC, MP3, along with very efficient codecs that will enable the smooth playback of the converted files on your DVD, PC, iPod, PSP, cell phones and other portable devices.
There’s also an “Editing” feature, allowing you to easily crop and trim the loaded video, modify the brightness and the contrast, change the volume, or even add image or customizable text watermarks anywhere on the video.
This smart program also comes with preset several profiles of commonly used video and audio settings for your output files. You can also choose and save your favorite settings that the program has not preset for your future use. Easily change various settings such as the video codec, video frame rate, video bit rate, video frame size, or the audio codec, audio sample rate, audio bit rate and audio channels.
Accessing the Help -> Settings upper menu will open a small window where you may choose between stretching or keeping the output aspect ratio when the size of the output file is inconsistent with the source file. Here you may also disable the automatic playback in the preview window of a single file when that file is selected in the conversion list.
Finally, you may start the conversion (batch conversion of multiple input files, at the same time, is also supported) and enjoy the fast conversion speed and the great quality of the output files.
When converting you may also enable the option that will make the program automatically shut down your computer once the conversions tasks have been performed.
