I have decided that I might have a crack at a new section in regards to file associations and what programs I use to open and/or edit different file types. This section will take some time to grow so stick with me and please feel free to offer suggestions or ask questions. I intend to try keep the list to open source or free software but may mention commercial alternatives if an open source or free application is not available or adequate.
I am primarily a Windows user but support both OS X and Linux workstations and servers. This being the case, majority of my posts will be Windows related but from time to time I will attempt to throw in the odd OS X or Linux application.
I have been looking around for a free FLV video converter (video to FLV) for a while now. I have found a few different ones, but none have been as easy to use as Any Video Converter (AVC). Simplicity is a must as I will more than likely be guiding users with varying levels of IT knowledge to use this application.
The application can convert a video in three easy steps (using default settings)…
- Add the video file/s
- Select the video conversion profile
- Encode the video/s
The following is a detailed guide to the above steps:
1. Add the video file/s:
- Press the ADD VIDEO button.

- Browse to the location of the video/s that you wish to be converted.
- Select the video/s and press the Open button.
2. Select the video conversion profile:
- Select Flash Video Movie (*.flv) from the Profile: drop-down menu.

3. Encode the video/s:
- Press the ENCODE button and wait for the process to complete.
