I don't know where to get FLV codec, but I know when I installed Leawo Free FLV Converter, I can watch FLV video with Windows Media Player. On the other hand, I also can convert all of my videos to a lots of video format.

Just download a video converter, this software can convert videos from various formats. And most of video converters convert flv videos well. You can search for a best video converter, or just download a "format factory", which is free and useful.

I don't how finish it, but i think you should download an Flv video convert. If you want to convert FLV to WMV, MP4, MOV, AVI, VOB, ASF, RM, 3GP or 3G2. You can download this Aneesoft free FLV convert, or you should buy the official version.

Flawlessly Convert SWF to FLV-Aunsoft SWF to FLV Conversion Our source video for...

Flawlessly Convert SWF to FLV-Aunsoft SWF to FLV Conversion
Our source video for a specific project was an Adobe Captivate SWF file for showing people how to logon to our webinar. We needed to convert it to FLV, so it could be posted on our website. It's actually not easy to find one good SWF converter that could handle our original file after searching on Google for "SWF to FLV converter". In about fourth or fifth page on search results, I finally found one product that meets my expectation perfectly. It's called Aunsoft SWF Video Converter. It's not expensive and we were so happy that we could finish our project in time with the help of this converting tool.
With 10 stars meaning excellent, I'd give it a 10, for it is one of the very few SWF converters that actually worked with our SWF file and did as promised. If you have SWF files needed to be converted, Aunsoft SWF Converter is a worthy choice for its price. Besides, it offers not just FLV output, but also various video & audio formats for different purposes. You will find out more later.
I will show you how to use this SWF converter to convert SWF files to FLV files. I'm sure you will be impressed by its intuitive interface.
Step 1. Add SWF file(s).
Drag and drop swf files into the app if you want to convert them at one time to FLV format.

Step 2. Choose output format and specify destination folder.
You can see a variety of output options from Aunsoft SWF Converter. In my case, I simply choose "FLV-Flash Video Format(*.flv)", the first option in "Flash Video" catalog in "Profile" drop-down list. You can also check FLV H.264(*.flv) profile for FLV video with H.264 video codec and aac audio codec.

Step 3. Choose converting mode and start SWF to FLV conversion
Click convert button to start swf to flv conversion. You will be asked to choose converting mode, auto mode or manual mode. If your SWF file has no actionscript embedded, then auto mode is recommendable. Otherwise, please choose manual mode to realize complete conversion. If you choose auto mode, the program will start conversion and you can get in FLV file in seconds in your destination folder.

And if you choose manual mode to convert your swf file, you will see the following interface. The big preview window will not play your swf file until you click "Play and capture" to start conversion in manual mode. The moment the original file finishes playing in the big window, the conversion completes. And your FLV file will be ready in output folder.

Most videos I add to my mach speed trio v430, are in avi format, but when added to the player say file format error! they play on my computer in the VLC player, so i do not understand why they do not play...

I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
Hi. If you're like me you just bought one of Mach Speed's mp3/media players (I have the Trio/Eclipse Model G2, it looks like the Ipod Nano). I bought it at Big Lots for about $30. Everything works except i can't get video to play on it! Here's what i found after hours of trial and error:
Seems mine (hopefully this will work for yours) will ONLY play either FLV or RM files. If you have AVI or other kinds of video files you can use this great software to convert to FLV:
http://download.cnet.com/Koyote-Free-FLV-Converter/3000-2194_4-10832044.html?tag=mncol
It's free and it won't put a watermark on the video...which is great 'cause all the other free ones out there will. Anyway i hope this helps.

No cd for go gear to convert videos

You can get it by going to www.usasupport.philips.com
Enter in your exact model #
Click on the link for your exact model #
Click on "software & drivers"
Click on "Media Converter Software" - download and install

You have to use the Philips (Arcsoft) Media Converter to convert/transfer videos. If the converter is not recognizing a specific video type - FLV, for instance - download a free program called Riva FLV Encoder and convert the videos to AVI format first. Then the Philips Media Converter will recognize them.

The Philips Media Converter is not capable of converting an entire DVD - you will have to acquire video editing software, and then break up the DVD files into 15-minute chunks, and then convert each chunk.

If you are getting a codec error, do a google search for free video codecs - they are out there. Windows Codec Pack and downloading the latest version of quicktime will give you most of these needed codecs.

This player is not capable of playing copyright-protected videos - so don't even bother with them.

Additional information is available both from Philips website and from Arcsoft's website.

Arc soft say;s im missing a codec flv codec's

Even the newest version of the Arcsoft Media Converter, I have found, doesn't recognize FLV files even if you have an FLV codec. Use a free program called Riva FLV Encoder to convert any FLV files to AVI format first. Then Arcsoft will recognize it.

I cant download youtube

The video conversion software (actually made by ArcSoft) will not naturally recognize FLV files. You will need a FLV to AVI converter - I use Riva FLV Encoder. Once the YouTube videos are converted to AVI, the video converiosn software for the GoGear should recognize it and convert the video. If the video conversion software is giving you a codec error - get codecs for FLV, AVI, MPEG-4, and any other format you may be using (Quicktime, latest version contains many of these Codecs).

Video conversion

Video (eg: YouTube Videos) can be dragged onto the PVP such as Philips Sa5285/37 without using ArcSoft or Windows Video Player. Use "Mozilla FireFox 3.0.5" with "Download Helper 3.5.1 Add On" and download the selected Video from YouTube in the prescribed manner and then drag it onto your PVP by opening up "My Computer" in Windows and finding the PVP Icon (make sure your device is connected) - open it and find the Video Folder and if it is not there create one as you would on your PC. This works well as long as the Video is converted to AVI by the Add On Download Helper Convertor. Open "Preferences" window after opening FireFox Browser and opening Download Helper window. Select "Conversion" ,Double Click "Convert FLV Files From ALL to AVI Default" from main window( this would have been set as a rule ). Then Select Input Files with Extension "FLV" then "from site" "ALL" then for "Output" select AVI(mpeg4+mp3) then selct "Details" & then "General" and then "Output Format" "AVI Format" then "Video Codec" "mpeg4" then "Audio Codec" "libmp3lame". Do not go to "Advanced" and change anything -those boxes are left unchecked and just "Custom AVI" comes up for Video Format. Good Luck Friends! DWH
