Fastest Way to Download and Convert Multiple FLV Files from YouTube and other Video-Sharing Sites

I have already written in detail that how you can quickly download streaming media from a variety of websites using the Grab++ module of Orbit Downloader but now I have found another option that allows to quickly download multiple video files from many famous video sharing sites such as YouTube, MetaCafe, Dailymotion and many others.

This software I am referring to is called Free FLV Converter and as it’s name implies is available for free. It will allows to download streaming video files from most of the famous video sharing sites. It has a built-in search module that will allow to search and list all the related video files according to your search string. Number of search results can also be adjusted. By default search results are presented in detailed view mode and can be sorted on a number of parameters such as date added, no. of views, video name, duration etc. A thumbnail mode is also provided to have a visual clue of the video files. Some people may actually prefer the thumbnail mode. In any case a video can also be previewed by clicking on the Play button available on the left side. To download the desired files just checkmark them and press the Download button and all the selected video files be added to the download queue in the Turbo downloader tab(second tab).

A very nice thing about this software is that it will allows to set the output format for the downloaded files such as PSP, IPod, AVI so that the downloaded FLV files will be automatically converted to the desired format after downloading. If you don’t want to convert the downloaded files then select No Conversion from the Format drop-down. Other options can also be adjusted here such as output audio,video codec, screen size, aspect ratio etc.

This is a very convenient and useful software particularly if you want to download multiple files and then convert them to a suitable format at once such as to transfer to you IPod or PSP. However note that it is not as general purpose stream downloader as Grab++, for example it will not allow you download streaming audio files, flash files(swf), and rm files. But still for video files downloading from the supported sites it’s convenience can’t be beaten.

You can download Free FLV Converter form Koyote Soft.
