This tutorial is to show you a step-by-step demonstration of converting videos downloaded from YouTube and Google Video, bliptv,  to WAV for playing on MP3 or iPod Player. First of all, we have to make it clear that the YouTube videos and Google videos communicating online are of the Flash Video file, or FLV file format.

What is FLV?
FLV, or Flash Live Video file, is a preferred file format that is designed for web playback, offering high rates of compression to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player.
FLV content cannot be played back directly but must be embedded in (or linked from) an SWF file. You create (or download) a “container” SWF file from which to play the FLV file. The most common approach is to use an SWF file that functions as a media player with screen and playback controls. Notable users of the FLV format include YouTube, Google Video, Reuters.com, Yahoo!Video and MySpace, Dailymotion, break, blip.tv, fox,etc.
