Any ideas please?
I have installed Videobox so that I could download a YouTube movie and have that file converted into MP4. Videobox is working perfectly well. However, I have just tried to download some PDF files from my work webmail email system and found that every file that arrives in my Downloads folder has a .flv file extension added to it, meaning that I now have to remove the file extension before I can view it as a pdf. I understand that a .flv file is the format for the YouTube file that is processed by Videobox, but why has this forced all pdf files to be treated as a flv file?
How can I stop this file extension being added to the end of downloaded files?
I have looked at the preferences in Videobox and there doesn't appear to be anything I can see that would help in this regard. When you install Videobox you are asked to add a Safari plugin and I wondered if it is this plugin that is causing this problem. I have tried uninstalling the plugin and restarting Safari and downloading the files again, but this hasn't helped.
Any ideas?
Chris
