I just found a great little online site that converts FLV files to MPEG and MOV formats along with a host of others.
Just download a YouTube file using a site like www.savetube.com and then convert the file using Media Convert. Save Tube is also a site where you can backup any of the videos you have uploaded to You Tube or any other video site.
You’ll have to upload it but I found the upload and resulting download (of the new file) both went quite quickly and the resulting file quality is quite good — at least for MOV files. And because it is online, no software to install.
