Here is two websites some other of our forum members have mentioned before.
I believe this is what you are looking for.
A method to convert what you already have on your HD.

http://all2convert.com/index.html
http://media-convert.com/convert/

Haven't tryed them myself yet but they look simple enough to use.

FLV is the #1 format for an entire score of sites these days.. Here’s a few that will lead you to such files:

http://www.crazydumper.org/
http://www.6t9u.com/hosted/
http://youporn.com/
And http://www.flurl.com/

BTW there’s a backdoor for files hosted at http://yourfilehost.com/ that are currently shown as .FLV that allows you to download the original non FLV file at a great speed Wink If your interested send me a PM.

Furthermore Riva FLV Ecoder 2 can work in reverse mode if you export the files to .MPEG. It’s freeware: (Note that it most likely will not work with Windows Vista):
http://www.download.com/Riva-FLV-Encoder/3000-2140_4-10381392.html?tag=lst-0-1

I prefer the non freeware Total Video Converter, but AVI compression suffers so I normally export to MPEG and use other video editing software to further convert if needed.

If your desperate, check out this online conversion site. It’s a slower method but works well:

My take on FLV conversion is don't bother, the picture is lossy to begin with, why waste your time converting to another format and make it look even worse?

Bitcomet FLV player plays FLV fine, resizes and seeks, only lacks a playlist which means more drag and drop required than full featured media player like MPC. Only other FLV player I know with playlist is FLV playerS (http://sweb.cityu.edu.hk/50689882/flv.html) but is is very crash prone.

Anyways you wanted to grab frames from FLV video. Here is a screen capture using XnView (Tools > Capture Screen > Window) and Bitcomet FLV player.

XnView is an excellent freeware image viewer.

Because some sites don't accept FLV uploads.
