Merge multiple FLV clips to a single one.

4. Hit “Start” button to begin encoding video format you need: VOB or MPEG.

Now you will find the converted VOB and MPEG files on your specified output folder. Then how to complete the burning task next?

Burn the converted file to a DVD disc
In fact, how to burn the file to DVD next depends on the output file type. If it is VOB file, you know for Nero, you need IFO and BUP files except VOB files to complete the burning task. Now let’s learn more about these files built in DVD:

VOB
VOB stands for DVD Video Object. It is basically one of the core files found on DVD-Video discs and contains the actual movie data, including an MPEG-2 video stream and support audio (MP2, AC3, DTS etc.) In order to view stand-alone VOB files, you need to have the DVD player software that supports VOB playback.

IFO
In video editing, IFO normally refers to a file on DVD-Video disc and stands for InFOrmation. IFO files basically contain all the information a DVD player needs to know about a DVD so that the user can navigate and play everything properly.

BUP
BUP files are simply backup copies of IFO files on a DVD-Video disc in case of corruption. C

Now we only own VOB, so what is next? Take it easy. Get the useful and free tool called "IFOedit" at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/IFOEdit.htm which will help you create IFO and BUP files. Here is the solution to having VOB files without the accompanying IFO, BUP files. Or, if you have damaged IFO or BUP files.

1) Download IFOEDIT. It is a tiny application and is free.
2) Run IFOEDIT and click on the button at the bottom that says Create IFOs.
3) Select the 1st VOB file in the series that you have saved.
4) Click OK.
5) It will take a little while depending on the speed of your system. However, it will analyze all of the VOB files in your directory and create the necessary IFO and BUP files.
6) You can now burn your DVDs in “Nero”.

Of course, if you own MPEG and not VOB file, then you can choose the software like video to DVD burner to directly burn DVD disc without the trouble finding IFO and BUP. It is simple to search this type of burning program. Type in “video to DVD burn” in Google Searching Engine and you will get lots of results. Select one best to help you.

It is not so hard as you thought, right? Now just burn VOB or MPEG to DVD and enjoy them on your DVD player!

Therefore the situation about abnormal playback will appear. Especially for F4V-another type of FLV encoded with H.264 belongs to HD video.

Two types for Flash movies: SWF and FLV (Flash Video)

SWF includes the interactive objects like the playback button, process bar or some textboxes. However, this kind of Flash file has a limit for the frames. They can only contain 16000 frames. That means the movie length will be limited. Therefore it is not suitable for longer movies.

FLV (Flash Video) is just the video content. It doesn’t contain any playback controls. It can only be played in local PC if it is not embedded into a player. However, it has no limit for the movie length. So many people will adopt this method to play the movies online that the SWF file, namely the player calls the video content, FLV file.

• Satisfying file size.

Back to FLV video format, it is very popular video format over the internet nowadays. How to make Windows Media Player play FLV freely? I will provide three solutions for this question.

1. Deal with it using the codec.

Download a suitable codec for the specific video formats. instead of just randomly downloading codecs with the hope that one of them works, I’d recommend downloading a codec tool that will analyze your particular video file and tell you exactly what codec(s) you’ll need to play the files. Here is a free tool that will do this for you: Gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/). This will tell you what codecs you need to get the particular file running properly, without making you download anything that you don’t need. A lot of times codecs can conflict with one another, and overloading your system with a whole them is never a good idea, and having multiple amounts of them on your system can sometimes cause more harm than good.

2. Convert FLV to other video format.

Use Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro 2 to convert FLV to WMV, FLV to AVI, FLV to MOV, FLV to MP4, etc. which are acceptable by Windows Media Player.

It will easily convert lots of FLV files to Windows Media Player.
