Converting Videos

While all these are very useful, users like us get into problem when we find out that a video file is not playing on our OS (Operating System). You see, different platform also features new formats more compatible to their system. Therefore those of us who use different platforms, we get into trouble. Say for example, the FLV (Flash Video) format. It is a useful format around the Internet because of its small size and use of chunk which make it easier to share over the Internet properly. But the setback is Windows or Mac, none of them supports FLV by default. Even if you can play them with right video codec and right video components you won’t be able to edit them on software like Windows Movie Maker or Final Cut Pro or iMovie etc. So the problem remains.

The Solution is rather simple. If you are a Mac user, all you got to do is to convert the using a FLV converter Mac.

Now of course FLV is not the only file formats that are not supported. There are others as well. Are you going to use an FLV converter for Mac and use another converter for let’s say MKV (Matroska Video) file? No need for that. Converters usually support multiple formats. But that depends on the quality of the converter you are using.
