Converting flv to something usesable

[DVDHolocron]

I have a series of 2-3 minute flv files I need to convert to something useable in DVD Lab Pro. This is my first attempt at an edit/preservation, so please bear with my ignorance.

I have used SUPER to convert to many differnet file types, but I still get errors from DVD Lab. Can anyone recommend which format and settings I should use, or possibly other software?

TIA

WinFF is the program I use for that:

it is a very good and free converter.

Welcome to the board, Mathiias. Its good to see you around here.

if anyone else is wondering... you can use ffmpeg for this, too.

also, a lot of tools actually RE-ENCODE the audio and you can just COPY this instead.

ffmpeg -i INPUT.FLV -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag xvid -qscale 2 -acodec copy OUTPUT.AVI

WinFF is actually a frontend for ffmpeg, for people like me who hate command lines

I think I'll have to use this to get rolling on my Sucks Less DVD later
