Of course, you could have looked it up as well as I.

I've stated this before and I'll state it again: "google" is *NOT* "your friend". Ciao. -- Be nice to people on your way up - you'll see the same people on your way down. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Patrick, I worked with Google. I knew Google. Google is a friend of mine. Patrick, you're not google." :P

No, I'm not google, I'm old. But what made you think I thought of myself as google? Or is there a basic comprehension problem bkb&c of your computer? I think, therefore I *am*.

So, do you consider asking here and using the list in a similar fashion as you used google, wrong? If yes, why? If not, why do you have to try and be a smartass and belittle anyone who does ask questions here? -- If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man. -Mark Twain -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK, maybe I should restate this, how can I do many files at one time. So far I've only seen ways to do one at a time.

Thanks,

JIM

Question: why do you want to convert FLV files to AVI?

(If my memory serves me right, you can simply rename a *.flv file to the extension *.avi and any of the players in openSUSE/linux (kaffeine, amarok, etc) will play the file.

For those using M$ you need to buy a conversion program [which is probably why you are asking the question?].) \

I've been doing it on occasion to allow for direct editing and also to share with less-fortunate Wintendo users.

It's also a good deal smaller in file-size. Great for us dial-up users out there in the world. -- When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away. -John Steinbeck -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Because I want to burn the files to CD and watch them on my TV. My DVD player does not see the FLV files. SO if I just rename them to AVI would that work?

Try it and see what happens.

Bite your tongue! :) The only way I use M$ is on top of VMware!

Thanks and Merry Christmas!
