The WM converter program that comes bundled with the free demo version of WM recorder 14

will do the job. Its fairly easy to use.
Depending on the .flv source, you might need to tick the 2 pass conversion box to get the output file to play at correct speed.

I'll give that a go, cheers!

Yep, The Watcher, I use that method myself on certain stream recordings.

But you can also use VLC Media Player to convert flv files into any format, if you use the convert file option. It takes a little playing around with, but it can convert any file it plays.

You can even hit the record button on the player, and convert the file that's playing, into an mp4 file.

But most of these converters use ffmpeg as the base program. So if your comfortable using command line programming, you can use ffmpeg direct.

I use Format Factory, it'll convert almost anything into almost anything else!
