    I am looking for a program (hopefully free) that will convert flv video files that I downloaded off of youtube (don't worry they weren't copyright protected :p). So does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    i know one program that can convert flv to avi- Flash to Video Encoder. it's not free, unfortunately, but it doesn't cost lots of money, and there's a trial version, so you can easily use it without paying.
