Online FLV Converter

January 7th, 2008

onlineflvconverter2.gifIf you are one of the many people who surf youtube a lot then you probably have downloaded some videos to your computer as well. But those videos are always in flv format which makes it incompatible with some of your favorite media players. And instead, you will need to download a flv player or vlc media player to view the videos. I too am a keen watcher on youtube and this type problem is very frustrating. But fortunately for us, we can convert the videos before we even download them. Thanks to ConvertTube.

I have tried many other online flv converters as well but this one really takes the cake. Its service is fast and of good quality. The only downside to it is that you can only convert one file every 15 minutes. And you can get rid of that wait by subscribing on a monthly basis which costs 4.99 us/month. You can download videos directly from youtube in your favorite format. You have the option of to download from mpg, 3gp, mov, flv, mp3, mp4. So you can easily use the site to download videos directly to your iPod, PSP, iPhone or mobile. The site is considerably fast as well when you compare it with other online flv converters. Do give it a try if you want to directly download videos from youtube in your own favorite format. :)

This website is approximately 55kB for each page. It then displays the time taken to load the website. After that it will show you the average time taken per kB, which is really the main focus of the tool. So the lower it is the better for you and for your visitors!
