Video Sharing Websites like YouTube, Dailymotion has all videos in .flv extension. You might have downloaded Videos from Youtube or Vidoes from MegaVideo. When you download it you download the file with an extension .flv. To play these videos you should either have FLV Player or a Player which supports FLV format.
What if you want to Download and Convert the Videos to one of your Favorite Video Format at ONE GO? Meaning both the steps at the same time. Here is where a Utility called – DamnVid pitches in.
DamnVid is a cross-platform application to download and convert videos from your hard drive or from dozens of video sharing websites like YouTube, Dailymotion, Veoh, Metacafe, etc. Basically, it’s a video downloader and converter.

DamnVid Features
- Video converter, first and foremost. It makes use of the wonderful FFmpeg library, used in other software like VLC Media Player.
- Video downloader: While DamnVid can convert local video files just fine, it can also download video streams from most video sharing websites. But what gives it the edge over other video downloaders and converters is that not only it does both the downloading and the converting, but it does them at the same time: it converts as it downloads, making the whole process much faster.
- A cross-platform software that sucks less.
- It can do basic things like change the resolution, aspect ratio, or volume of the video
- DamnVid organizes its videos into customizable folders.
DamnVid is currently available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Norwegian.

Hey Nihar,
Great share – thanks alot.
Till now i have been using online converters, but they are usually pretty slow.
I tried the app. and i have a question. Do you know if DamnVid allows you to convert videos into Mp3 (sound only)?
Thanks
