There are a lot of people who want to Convert Video to Flash and put the Flash FLV videos on different types of media such as DVDs and portable devices, but they run into the YouTube flash problem when they try to do that. What is the YouTube flash problem? Well when you use a YouTube downloader to download YouTube videos from the website, you are downloading the FLV flash file. What is wrong with that?
Well FLV files are not friendly when it comes to anything other than playing the FLV flash file in a flash player. That creates the YouTube flash problem. That means that you will have to find a program that will convert the flash file into a different format, so you can do more with the FLV flash file. If you convert the flash file to WMV you will be able to burn the YouTube videos onto a DVD or VCD. That will allow you to use that DVD or VCD in any modern DVD player. That is not the entirety YouTube flash problem. Not all formats can do everything that you want to do, so converting it to a format will not completely erase the YouTube flash problem.
Depending on what you want to do you will have to convert the YouTube video file accordingly. If you want to play the file on an IPod then you would have to convert the YouTube file into a MP4 file. That is because MP4 files are the type of files that IPod media players use. If you want to play it on the new Blackberry then you would have to convert the FLV flash file into an AVI file. That will allow the YouTube video to be properly played on a touch screen Blackberry.
So in reality, converting the files of YouTube videos is not really getting rid of the YouTube flash problem. Converting the videos is pretty much a way to get around the YouTube flash problem. Fortunately, it works pretty well if you know how to get the programs that will do all of the converting for you. If you do not, it is as easy as searching on any major search engine. If you want AVI files then search for the term FLV to AVI. If you want MP4 then search for the term FLV to MP4. You will almost always get the best program to get around the YouTube flash problem.
