Last month I posted an entry about using [tag]keepvid.com[/tag] to [tag]download videos[/tag] from [tag]youtube[/tag] or [tag]google videos[/tag]. Here’s a handy and easy [tag]tip[/tag] to convert those videos into [tag]MPEG[/tag] or [tag]AVI[/tag] using a [tag]freeware[/tag] tool.

This tip has been posted by this blogger (with pics) so I will only quickly summarise it.


1. Find a cool video on youtube.com
2. Go to Keepvid.com to get the url and download it
3. Open with the free tool (download it here)
4. Convert it

Why do you want to convert it? Well I don’t know actually. Probably to play in your Windows Media Player or other players. But you can play these flv files using [tag]Macromedia flash[/tag] player and there are also free flv player on the internet.

It’s up to you really.
