Converting Flash Video to 16:9

Post by hellawaits77 »

Question for the tech experts here. I'm using Free FLV Converter to convert a flash video video to MPEG2. The vid is 16:9, and it seems as though FLV Converter will only convert to 4:3. I obviously want to keep the video in 16:9. I've looked at all the options, and there doesn't seem to be an option to change. Is there a way to do this using this program? Or another program that will do it? Thanks

Hey Nick,

I have been using WinAVI Video Converter to convert .flv videos and you can convert them to MPEG2 and with the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Easy to use program and it does what you ask for.

Finally got around to trying these, they seem to work, but the free version has the watermark. Anyone know of a free program that will do this? $ is a bit tight for me ATM. Thanks
