Convert FLV to play in Windows Media Player
This is my ultra-basic how-to for converting a Flash Video to something that Windows Media Player can understand using free software.
I wanted to convert a flash FLV file to play it in Windows Media Player, so I did the following:
- Installed DownloadHelper plugin for Firefox and downloaded the FLV file.
- Played it back in VLC (Video Lan Client).
- Set the output for VLC using the following settings:
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst="C:\Documents and Settings\foo\Desktop\Video.asf"}} - Opened it in WMP and watched it!
