Most of you came across this situation. You would have come across an interesting video in a online video sharing services like Youtube, Metacafe, Google video etc and tried to download it to your local machine or your gadgets like Mobile phone, iPod, iPhone. I would say downloading such videos are quite easy as there are couple of firefox plugins and online services are available. But after downloading you need a flv player to view the content in your machine or you need a converter to convert the flv video into your desired format and is  quite tedious in case you dont have the right software.

Flvix.com is a one stop solution to download videos from Youtube or Google videos after converting into AVI, MOV, MP4, 3GP, MP3 format and the service is absolutely free. The download and conversion process is very simple and is just 4 steps.

1. Copy the link of the page with the video on it and paste it in the textbox.
2. Choose desired format : AVI, MOV, MP4, 3GP, MP3.
3. Click Convert button.
4. Download the converted file and thats it.

I tried downloading couple of videos using this service and the whole process is really fast.

P.S: I wish the site owners to concentrate a bit in the site UI as it looks very much cluttered, as any newbie will always finds it difficult even to identify the textbox
