Download helper converts to .flv instead of .avi

since a few months when downloading a video from the same source, the download helper converts to .flv and no longer to.avi.
what do I need to do to have .avi?
Even if it downloads as .avi, it converts automatically to .flv .
Thank you for help.

The first thing that you need to consider is whether or not
this project
will work well on the web. If you have to make a bunch of
compromises to
get it working on the web, then it may not represent you
well.
That said, you can use FLVs in Director MX 2004 with the
latest updates.
However, you can't stream the FLVs, you have to encapsulate
each one in
an SWF and then use the SWF. So if its the streaming that
you're after,
you may want to use QT instead. You can stream that.
Regardless of the video media that you use, you need to be
sure that you
aren't taking a smooth CD based experience and turning it
into a click
and wait, click and wait, less than elegant web experience.
If you want
to showcase your video capabilities then you may want to
build a web
specific tool. Or, you may want to let site visitors request
a CD to be
mailed to them.

Convert a .FLV file to an .AVI file so it doesn't lose its quality

Hi guys
I have downloaded a video from a webpage that i need to send to those with macs and Pcs.
It delivered it to me as a .flv file, which doesn't work on macs. How do i convert the file to an
.AVI file so it can viewed on both pcs and macs. I also don't want to lose its quality.
Thanks

Not sure if any are PPC, oR 10.5.8 compliant, still, if you give a link to one you're trying, it may be helpful.

Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
Instructive documentation - not very good.
Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
Could use timer tracking of the record process.
Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

Download helper no longer works - icon is there but it does not recognise flv video on any site - not a PC guru so easy help needed !!!!

I have only just started to use Firefox as I got very tired of IE. I watch a lot of flash/flv videos on many different sites and sometimes like to download some of these (which I could do on IE but couldn't here). I downloaded the add on "download helper" which was great and worked really well and easily but all of a sudden it now no longer works (the icon is still there but it won't recognise any type of video form any site at all - and I have no idea at all how to repair/fix it.
I am not a PC expert or guru so any kind of easy step by step help will be greatly appreciated (I don't want to have to go back to the horrible IE please!!!!!)

Does it work in the latest Release version - Firefox 31?
''Firefox 32 is currently a Beta version; not all add-ons are compatible with pre-release Beta versions of Firefox.''

An easy way to download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac

An easy way to download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac
I’m always attracted by the wonderful YouTube video files, and can’t help myself extracting the amazing audios to save them as MP3 to playback on my iPod and other MP3 players. I guess some of you may want to do the same thing as I do, but have not found an available application to achieve this goal, if so, I would like to share my experience here, and sincerely hope you can get what you need from my post.
The software I’m in use is Pavtube YouTube Convereter for Mac, which has performed very well on all the work I let it do. It can finish downloading and converting YouTube videos simultaneously in a few clicks. Besides YouTube, it can also deal with the video files from many other video sharing websites, like MySpace, Yahoo! Video, Google Video, Metacafe, Reuters, etc. Okay, let’s go back to the point to see how to use it to download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac in detailed steps.
Step 1: Add YouTube URL
Step 2: Select MP3 as output format
Copy and paste YouTube URL to the textbox after “URL”, meanwhile, if you want to save the original FLV YouTube videos, you can tick “Save FLV File”. Click the drop-down icon at the end of “Convert To” to select MP3 as output format. Furthermore, if you want to save the output MP3 file in your specified file name, you can type it into the textbox after “Save As”, and also, you can click “Browse” button to decide where to locate the output MP3 files.
Step 3: Adjust audio parameters
Click “Custom” button, then the following interface will show up, on which you are able to adjust audio parameters like codec name, sample rate, bit rate and audio channels.
Step 4: Start downloading and converting simultaneously
As soon as all the above steps are finished, you can click the “OK” button in step 2, after that, downloading and converting YouTube videos to MP3 will start automatically. Once completed, you can click “Open” button in the interface as below to get the output MP3 files with ease.

I am running Firefox 12.0. Win 7 home premium 64 bit. Suddenly after upgrading to ver 12.0 my download helper 4.9.no longer works What's the fix?

I'm running win 7 64 bit and have been using download helper for several years. It is up to date.ver 4.9.9 Suddenly, when I choose download a video, it seems to work sudden flashes on screen to include the default setting to convert flv to mp4, but the downloaded file is tiny and does NOT work. it remains in flv format and the "failed to conv" is added to the file name

I RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I uninstalled the converter. Re installed after a cold boot.
The sites that would not load properly: I did a ixquick search of the titles that wouldn't download and found them at another location. They then downloaded perfectly. from the new location

WMV file not converting to FLV Properly

I am trying to use the Flash Video Encoder to convert a WMV
file that a client provided to me into an FLV file. The audio works
fine in the FLV, but the image stays stuck on the first frame
through the whole movie.
This file needs to be uploaded by tomorrow. I've tried
compressing with about 6 different compression settings (both in
Sorenson and the newer On2 VP6 codecs).
I'm about to rip my hair out.
I even downloaded a trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
to export it and it's taking an hour to do so. My suspision is that
it wont work in there either.

I would recommend converting the WMV file to an intermediate
format before encoding to the FLV format. In general, advise your
clients to give you a better source video format--WMV is already
compressed, and recompressing it just deteriorates the video
quality. (I'm sure you know that already, but I just had to point
it out.)
In the past, I've used River Past's tools to convert WMV to
an AVI file which I then convert to FLV:

FFmpeg/Download helper problem

I am having the same problem as this person:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10035026#10035026
However I am really not computer savvy and am not sure what that means. All I know is that this Download Helper program worked on the Mac one day and and now it gives me that error message in the link. I want to use Download Helper to download music videos, convert them to MP3 and burn them to a personal CD. I don't understand source code. Can someone explain how to reinstall ffmpeg/lame in plain English step by step? It's honestly too frustrating to figure out on my own!

Instead of doing all that just download the file like any other that doesn't have a helper (i.e., just download it). If you want to convert it with the iffmpeg engine then simply use the iFFmpeg application. You still need to dowload ffmpeg but there's a link on the iFFmpeg from where to download an already built version for the mac and where to install it.
You really don't want to deal building ffmpeg yourself which involves collecting the additional libraries and figuring out excatly what arguments you need to specify to configure to get it built properly. For example, the already built build arguments for ffmpreg, as displayed by iFFmpeg were,
--prefix=/Volumes/tempdisk/sw --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --disable-ffplay --disable-ffserver --enable-libvpx --disable-decoder=libvpx --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-libxavs --enable-avfilter --enable-libopencore_amrwb --enable-libopencore_amrnb --enable-libvo-aacenc --enable-libvo-amrwbenc --enable-zlib --enable-filters --arch=x86 --enable-runtime-cpudetect
If you insist on building it yourself the iFFmpeg site has this link to a set of instructions on how to do it.
No matter what you do, I don't recommend trying to figure out how to adapt this stuff to a browser helper (for example, what would be the mime type?). It's much easier to do it after the fact, i.e., after the stuff is downloaded.

Converting .mpg and .mov to .avi

I am on OS X 10.4.5 and Quicktime 7.0.4
I am trying to convert .mov and .mpg to .avi files. This is so that I can insert these files into a powerpoint presentation and they will run better. I downloaded iSquint but that only seems to help me convert video files to mpg4.
Any advice on how to save as an avi?

I think .avi is a container, not a format. You can try with flip4mac and create windows media files (if you can't create any other format powerpoint accepts).On the other hand, if you have iWork-I think Keynote can be viewed from powerpoint.

Can't convert to FLV format like I used to

I have a QuickTime Pro license and I am up-to-date. I used to be able to convert an avi file to flv format for use in Adobe Flash. Now I get an error saying "Wildform Flix Exporter encountered a problem. This version of Flix Exporter is not licensed to run under the current application." What's up with that? How do I now convert to FLV format? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the primary reason I upgraded to QuickTime Pro in the first place. Plus, I find trying to get to the right place to even ask this question to be extremely time consuming and frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

QuickTime Pro has never exported to Flash video without third party software.
Seems like your "Flix Exporter" ( http://www.on2.com/index.php?316 ) is that third party application.
Contact them for more answers.

I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I want to download a video from youtube

No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

Download and convert Youtube video to MP3---Just with one click

Download and convert Youtube video to MP3---Just with one click
Last week, when wandering around the Youtube watch.com, I was enthralled with the theme song of "Lost", especially the words of the song "I found out, on the corner of first and amistad, where the west was all but won all weeklong, smoking his last cigarette, I said: "Where you been?" He said: "ask anything.""......"
I couldn’t help expecting to save this song to my personal players. What a delightful thing listening to the song while walking or waiting for a bus! Okay, do you have the same experience as me? When hearing an exciting speech or dialogue, are you thirsty for downloading them and saving as your best memory?
Download, convert Youtube to mp3?—yes, you can.
Anna, one of my best friends, has posed a question "I have a Mac notebook and I only need the audio (mp3 music) of a certain Youtube movie, what shall I do?" The solution to the problem is shown as below:
Step one: Install a Youtube Converter for Mac as follows:
Step two: import the URL of Youtube video (or batches of URL) you wanna convert using "Add URL" icon. Select output format like audio (MP3) by "Settings" and customize your output file path with "Browse".
Step three: If you want your output audio much better, you can set the audio resolution like Bit Rate, Channels or Sample Rate presented in the following picture.
Step four: Click "Ok” button, it automatically download and convert your youtube videos simultaneously. After a few minutes, you can get the desirable audio (mp3) you want and enjoy it on any portable devices.
Download, convert Youtube videos to iPod, iPhone, iPhone 3Gs, PSP, Creative Zen, Zune, iRiver, and etc. --- done by one click.
Generally, if you want to download a Youtube video and then convert them to MP3 for your mobile devices, you need two Youtube tools: Youtube Downloader and Youtube Converter. But, now, with Pavtube Youtube Converter for Mac, you can both download and convert massive videos by clicking one "Ok" button.
Now, all the best, you can enjoy versatile Youtube music at a waiting room, on a bus, traveling, walking around the park or lying on your bed..

Youtube's ToU specifically state that downloads of any content is prohibited unless there is a download button available for a particular video.
