How do you convert a Flash Video (.flv) into a recognizable video (.wav, .wmv, et cetera)?

RealPlayer has a function that allows the user to download videos straight off of YouTube. When the video is finished downloading, it turns up as a Flash Video, a *.flv file. However, only RealPlayer recognizes Flash Videos. Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker do not recognize Flash Videos but do recognize Windows Media Videos, *.wmv files, and *.wav files. How do you convert a Flash Video into a *.wav video or a *.wmv video?

You can download videos from other video sharing sites and upload to youtube.
Youtube accepts the following video file formats: WMV, AVI, MOV, and MPG
Thus you need a downloader and converter. Just try Moyea flv to video converter. With this tool, you can download, play, and convert flv videos to many video and audio formats. I'm using it for a long time and it works very well.

1. download the video (it will automatically be saved to your hard disk)
2. convert the video to the relative format
3. upload it.

A better solution would be to use K-Lite codec pack. It came with Media Player Classic which is faster to use than WMP.

It will allow you to play just about any type of video files. Get it at http://www.codecguide.com
