I'm with Multimedia on this one. Bobber holy cow, what a great find. This is so much better than download helper, which requires my using firefox. Awesome post!😀
 
Wow Bobber! That is one freaking fantastic find. How long has that been off my radar?

Let's hear it for the teens!! 😱 🙂

No problem. It's even on my FF bookmark bar. 🙂

But be warned. I've had some troubles getting FF to convert a video all the way. Switching to Safari does the the trick.
 
Perian + QTAmateur rocks for FLV to iMovie

Perian + QTAmateur.

Thanks, jackerin! Perian + QTAmateur is an excellent combination.

I downloaded a bunch of FLVs from YouTube and wanted to mix/edit them in iMovie. The first converter to try was VLC (File -> Streaming/Exporting Wizard), which did a decent job 60% of the time (12 out of 18 files). The trouble with the remaining files was:

a) totally messy checkerboard effect in many parts of the clip (3 files)

b) jerky motion, i.e. smooth movements converted to back-and-forth jerkiness (2 files)

c) error in processing the file, conversion not finished (1 file)

I tried with different MP4 and H.264 settings in VLC but no success. However, Perian + QTAmateur converted all the files properly, so they run smooth and clean in iMovie.
