vixy.net : Online FLV Converter : Download online videos direct to PC / iPod / PSP. It's free! !
It converts it to either
- Divx+mp3 (AVI)
- Mpeg4+mp3 (Mov)
- Mpeg4+AAC (Mp4)
- Mpeg4+AAC (3GP)
- MP3 (Audio Only)
It make take a little while for it to come up for download, because they have to convert it. This is really easy to use, but their download speeds suck, so you may want to use something like flashget.
They also have an application for desktop use, but I haven't tried it out yet.
About this service
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This service allows you convert a Flash Video / FLV file (YouTube's videos,etc) to MPEG4 (AVI/MOV/MP4/MP3/3GP) file online. It is using a compressed domain transcoder technology (outline in Japanese). It converts FLV to MPEG4 faster and less lossy than a typical transcoder.
When you submit a URL, it will download and convert to the video format, and then you can download the converted file.
FLV to MPEG4 Conveter engine is now OpenSource. You can download the source code via subversion: SourceForge.net: Subversion
For Windows users: Please install DivX to play DivX AVI.
FAQ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q1. I've got an error (Header error, or 'Cannot resolve address Youtube down?'), Why?
A1. The errors may comes from our server issue. Our servers and networks are still in heavy load, so the conversion often failed. Please wait for a while and try it again. If you would like, you can download and install the app version (see above). It may convert videos faster than on this site.
Q2. On 'Vixy converter BETA for PC', the start button remains dead, so I can't convert any videos.
A2. The application needs to connect Internet to show Ads. If you use personal firewall (e.g. Norton Internet Security), please allow the app to connect Internet.
