Best FLV converter resourse share

Many video-sharing websites like YouTube, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, etc. always provide people with original videos about meaningful, interesting, or important events that happened all over the world in real time, and nearly all of them use FLV format to save these video files. Maybe you have collected many sorts of your favorite videos downloaded from the above mentioned video websites, and want to import them to your free editing program iMovie to do further editing, so that you can enjoy your own works on local computer or upload them to your website or blog to share with your friends or other people, or copy them to your electronic gadgets such as iPod, iPhone, PSP, Blackberry, etc. for playback.

However, FLV files can not be imported to iMovie directly, because iMovie only supports formats like DV (standard definition), HDV (high definition), MPEG-2, and AVCHD from Camcorders, MPEG-4, and MOV files. Hence, supposing you want to add FLV files to iMovie without troubles, you should convert them to iMovie acceptable formats like MP4, MOV firstly. It is the only way to achieve your goal smoothly.

Click “Add” button to import FLV files, and then click the drop-down list of “Format” to select an iMovie compatible format to convert, here I take .mp4 for example. If you want to combine several FLV files to be a single one, you can choose “Merge into on file” to realize it. At the same time, you should hit “Browse” to decide where to locate the output files; otherwise, they will be exported to a defaulted folder.

Step 3: Set advanced settings
Click button “Settings”, the following panel will show up. You can adjust parameters like codec name, screen size, bit rate, frame rate and so forth on it according to your own requirement.

Well, the step-by-step instruction is completed; hope this FLV Converter for MAC can do you a favor while importing FLV files to iMovie for editing.

To play Blu-ray ISO backups on your WD TV Live, one thing you should know is that WD TV Live can well play ISO files from a USB drive, while network shares do have problems actually.

In order to get an ISO backup, what’s your workflow? As all I know, some people use tsMuxeR to back up the Blu-ray disc, and then converted it into an ISO using Daemon Tools. Personally, I use Pavtube Blu-ray Copy to make ISO backups for my Blu-ray discs.

or http://en.wikipedia.org/ can help you !

Within several clicks, this program can finish its task, and enables you to get an ISO image file. What you should do is just loading your BD files via “Source” option, and then choose “Image File (*.ISO)” from the pull down menu of “Target” to specify the destination folder. BTW, you’d better indicate your USB drive as the save path, or you need spend time to copy the ISO image to your USB drive repeatedly. Once the two steps finished, the backup process will begin, and then you just need wait for the resulted ISO files for your WD TV Live.

As long as copying task is completed, plug the USB into your WD TV, and connect it to your HDTV via HDMI cable, what you should do next is enjoying your BD movies on your widescreen TV leisurely.

One more thing I should mention is that some users have problems to play Blu-ray ISO files via their WD TV, but DVD ISO is working well. Not clear about the accurate reason, but another solution can be recommended. Since WD TV is able to beautifully playback HD MKV files up to Full HD 1080p, thus we just need a utility to convert BD files to HD MKV, and then everything will be OK. Because of the Blu-ray copyright issues, some discs are highly protected, we must take advantage of a powerful application to do so. In that case, the following Blu-ray ripper is suggested, it is able to remove nearly all kinds of BD protections, including BD+, AACS, and even MKB Version > 10 is supported as well.

This Blu-ray ripper allows users exporting “MKV HD Video (*.mkv)” format, and also enables users to reset audio and video parameters via clicking “Settings” button. You can set the resolution at 1920*1080 to remain 1080p quality of your Blu-ray movies, as well as keep 5.1 channel of the original surround sound. All in all, all the parameters like bit rate, codec name, frame rate, sample rate are all changeable in the following interface.

After your preferred settings for your WD TV have been set well, just click “Convert” button to start conversion. Once finished, you can watch them on your TV via WD TV with ease, and the high quality of the Blu-ray movie has never been changed at all.

Is this helpful? Hope it is.

To convert HD camcorder clips and other videos to a format that can be played on an iPod, iPhone, Apple TV and shared on the web, some Mac users have purchased the not cheap Elgato Turbo.264 HD Video Encoder to realize their format conversion goals. Turbo.264 HD is not only an encoder, but also an accelerator to convert all popular video formats (including HD camcorder video) to a high-quality H.264 file in standard or HD resolutions. It is incredibly fast and comes with an easy-to-use software application.

Everything seems good, but when it comes to deal with copy-protected DVDs, it usually gives users CSS errors, because it can only convert DVDs that are not copy-protected. Aside from the copyright issues, according to some users’ review, Turbo.264 HD has one worse problem that sometimes the exported files are all out of sync. We can have a look at some reviews on this point together. Written by PF from Ventura, 5-Nov-2009: “This product is a joke … most of the files generated using this product have audio that is completely out of sync and are unwatchable”; Written by AM from San Jose, 16-Nov-2009: “This product does exactly what it says on the box; it makes Apple TV format movies in a very short time. The issue is they’re unwatchable. I’ve ripped 15 movies in the last 10 hours, and not one of them has the audio in sync with the image.”

Well, how to fix the two problems? At this time, change your eyes on another affordable program would be a better choice. Absolutely, Pavtube DVD Ripper for Mac is for you to give solutions to the two problems.
