Playing Youtube videos on DVD player

Hi

I have a DVD player that plays DivX and MPEG4 files. I downloaded some videos from Youtube that are in Real Player format (with the .flv extension). I tried downloading a free software that was supposed to convert the videos into Divx files … and it has, but it still isn’t playing on my DVD player. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I downloaded Moyea FLV to Video Convertor Pro2.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong … or if I should try another software.

Please help!!!

Koyote Soft

called “Free FLV Converter V6.7.4”

freeware, smaller application, simpler usage.. ur dvd player that plays divx/mp4 files should take the settings of :

format: avi, preset: high, video codec: anything with mpeg4, xvid, divx series should work.. but try testing mpeg4 first, play the file in divx player and see if your sound is sync’d with video

[added] forgot to tell u after installation, u need the button called FROM FLV, it has a job que that you can setup

Thanks!!

What would you recommend for converting videos that are in .avi format??

same one ..

scratching head i found this by mistake and accidentally fed an .avi (in place of .flv) and it still converted to divx/mp4

Re: Playing Youtube videos on DVD player

  1. rename all files to .avi (sometimes they get saved with .divx)

  2. first try xvid codec, then try mpeg4, then divx 3,4,5, and test every one with your player, see which one works ?

Re: Playing Youtube videos on DVD player

yeah like confused said try changing codecs, usually the codecs selected are wrong when encoding thats why there’s only audio. If it still dont work then…
try encoding with dr divx it supports alot of files even .flv
