This program is a great way to capture video from sites such as Youtube and Teachertube when you punch in the URL. The app can also perform local searches for vids as well as convert to FLV. Opening up either conversion tab will automatically open a file browser. From there, a conversion window opens up, and you can change the basics such as settings, including output format, quality, and destination directory, as well as more advanced options like the codec, aspect ratio, and the frame rate. Tap convert at the bottom of the window when you're ready, and the Free FLV Converter works smoothly and without interfering with other programs. Free FLV Converter does have one irritation: When you install it, **be sure to opt out of the Dealio toolbar.** It's no more than a minor drawback, though, and doesn't cause problems later on.
