FLV video is popular, but some want to convert it to VCD. FLV files can be found on YouTube, Yahoo! Video, and Google Video. Use a converter like FLVsoft or RiverPast Video Cleaner to convert FLV to VCD. Choose the output format, such as VCD and/or .DAT, and select NTSC for North America and Japan or PAL/SECAM for Europe. Finally, click “Convert” and burn the file to a CD.
Adobe® Flash® video is so popular on the Internet that according to Adobe® only 20% of the video available is not in Flash®, FLV format. Many video hosting sites have used Flash® video as a standard, and as a result, people often work with, manipulate and convert Flash® video. VCD (Video CD or Video Compact Disc) is a commonly used all-digital CD format that uses the MPEG-1 codec. Therefore, people who want to burn one or more FLV files to disc often want to convert FLV to VCD.
The first thing you need to do is capture one or more FLV files. They can be found on YouTube®, as well as Yahoo! Video® and Google Video®. Then you need a converter that handles FLV files and exports them to VCD format. An example is FLVsoft®, but only if you have Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro 2 installed. Another option is RiverPast® Video Cleaner with Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP).
You start by opening the software application that can convert FLV to VCD and adding one or more FLV files. Chances are there is an “Add File” command that will allow you to access a file on your hard drive and open it on your computer. You may need to select FLV as the file type you are looking for. Alternatively, you may be able to drag and drop files into the converter window. At this point, you may have some editing features available, allowing you to crop or trim the video, for example, or add a watermark.
After that, you will select the output format. To convert FLV to VCD, look for VCD and/or .DAT, which is the file extension it uses. You may also see a reference to “MPEG-1”. Also, you may see a choice between PAL or PAL/SECAM and NTSC. These are the names of television broadcasting standards.
In general, it’s safe to choose NTSC for North America and Japan, while selecting PAL/SECAM for Europe and everywhere else when converting FLV to VCD. Standards have different sizes and frame rates. The next step is likely to be “Convert”. When you’re done, you can burn the file to a CD.
