[senit] AbilityNet YouTube update

I’m not sure how useful this is to the list members

Hi David

I think because the vixy site is still a beta version there are some
glitches. I have managed to convert quite a few FLVs, although now and again
there are some error messages, or it just hangs. But otherwise the results
are quite good, despite the actual downloaded size of the clips being on the
small side. 

My mistake about vixy converting downloaded files as it only does online
files.

Hi Craig, the vixy site appears to only convert
*online flvs? ie how do you get it to convert your
downloaded flv?
it also says it can convert direct from youtube urls
but it just gives "Error: URL resolve error.
(YouTube.com is down??)" even with its own example
url.
