Video downloading software problem?

Question

I recently came across a video that I felt I needed to have on my iPod. This has happened before, and I usually use Realplayer to download the .flv file and Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate to convert it to an .mp4 file. This video posed a problem, as the stream was secured in some type of way. After hours of searching, I found out that the grab pro addon (i think it's an extension of orbit downolader) for firefox could download the videos perfectly. I now have a perfectly working .flv file on my hard drive. However, when I attempt to convert it (I have tried at least 10 converters), I'll get a message like "file error" or "error number 13". Does anyone else know of a converter that works?

Answer 1

whatever, try more software until you get the right one for you.

Answer 2

I'd like to recommend this ipod converter to you, I always use it to convert DVD movie and flv video to mp4 video to my iPod, the conversion speed is really fast and the video quality is good. It also build-in an iPod transfer that can upload music and video to iPod directly, that's pretty cool, you may download it for a try, and here is a step by step guide about how to use it
