I might as well have recorded them on the HD camcorder and processed them that way… First, the “post to youtube” link was a fail. It’s been running for two days saying “upload in progress”. No way, that I could see to stop it. So now I had to find another solution.

Youtube recommends uploading in the .mp4 format. So the search began for a decent .flv to .mp4 converter. I would have liked a free solution, but the online or desktop version of Vixy doesn’t like the Ustream url. I tried to do it locally, that didn’t work. I didn’t see any other free converter that would do the job so I tried Moyea FLV to Video Converter 2 free trial. It worked!! The watermark and female voice were annoying, but it’s a free trial so it didn’t matter.

I noticed the FLV to Video Converter 3 product on the site added a whole lot more capability to the 2 version, adding watermarks to vids, batch conversions, and much more. So I bought it, at $44.95, it’s a bargain and $5 off the retail price.

Compare converter 2 and 3.
