I have been converting and watching YouTube vids converted to flv files via

I now want to save the files as mp3's, but it requires the latest JAVA plugin.
The mp3's
can be saved to DVD and played on my digital SAYO TV.
Is the new JAVA safe ? Why is JAVA required for mp3 ? I barely know enough
of this
stuff to use the Keepvid program.
I hope this isn't muddled up by my ignorance....
You probably meant the multimedia format, MP4. MP3 is an audio compression
format.
I have never heard of Keepvid. I agree about getting rid of FLV though.
Instead of Keepvid why not use the widely known, safe, and popular VLC?
It can stream, convert, and play almost anything.
I use VLC as a player, but the last time I used it as a converter,
I had to write cryptic commands (no hold-your-hand GUI).
I think one of the best trans-coders is Handbrake.

However, I suspect that the FLV files already contain a video
stream encoded with H.264 and audio streams encoded with AAC?
In that case, all that is needed is to peel the FLV container
like an onion, and rewrap the elementary streams in a different
container.
mkvmerge does that well for Matroska containers.

I do have a tool for MP4 containers, command-line only.

Good to know. Thanks Mason.
