Thanks, Barry, for the pointer to SMWoV. It wasn't clear to me what the three utilities were, but after installing several programs that claimed to be able to convert .flv files, only one of them actually could. That one was the Pazera Free FLI to AVI converter. I downloaded version 1.2 from Jacek Pazera's web site (
http://www.pazera-software.com). (The link on SMWoV was to version 1.0.) The program worked quickly and efficiently, and I was able to use the resulting AVI files in my PD project. Hooray for Jacek Pazera, the CyberLink community forum, and the SMWoV site!!
