Yes, you can convert flv to mpg. I don't remember what program does it, but that is why google was invented.

How do you download the files? I can only get them to play streaming!

in the 'download' section, right click on the download link button then save the file.

From a JudoForum topic:


  1. this site converts links to youtube, google-video etc video-clips into downloadable .flv files

http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

  1. freeware 'Super' program plays and converts between all multimedia files. flash (swf, flv) mpg, mpeg-4, mov, wmv, DVD (vob), real, avi (DiVX, Xvid, etc) and all that, even into the mobile-phone formats. follow the link is at the bottom, twice:

(abt 19mb download)

Simply drag and drop the clip into the white space at the bottom of the program, then choose the file format you want from the list at the top ('Selected Output Container" etc). The standard ones that should work on most every computer are MPG (mpegI) / MPEG-I (as the output video codec) and MP 2 (as the audio codec).

  1. To play the straight flv file, use the FLV player recommeneded by the site in Step 1. You will see the link when you input the URL (abt 2mb download) ********************************

Also, JudoBJJKid suggested GreaseMonkey to download straight from your browser.
