I recently posted an entry about converting YouTube to various media formats, but I recently discovered an easier way to do that online! Just go to Vixy.net and enter the YouTube URL or the location of the FLV file. Here's what Vixy.net has to say about its conversion tool:

Quote:

This service allows you convert a Flash Video / FLV file (Youtube's movie,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 more faster and losslessy than a typical transcoder.

When you submit an url, it will download and convert to the video format. Then you can download the converted file.

FLV to MPEG4 Conveter engine is now OpenSource. You can download the source code via subversion: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=183657

More specifically, here are the various video formats -- found in the pull-down options -- which the tool converts to:

AVI for Windows (DivX + MP3)
MOV for Mac (MPEG4 + MP3)
MP4 for iPod/PSP (MPEG4 + AAC)
3GP for Mobile (MPEG4 + AAC)
MP3 (audio only)

After the tool converts your YouTube file or FLV file, all you need to do is download the converted video! Smile
