How do I rename file to .flv?

To change to .flv, find your downloaded file and change (rename) (if the file has been saved for example in such form "videofile.htm" or "videofile.part") the file extension from .htm (or .part) to .flv extension in the filename.

If the file has been saved for example in such form "videofile.flv.htm" - that it is possible to rename the filename, having cleaned unnecessary .part from the name to receive correct extension in the end of the filename ("videofile.flv").

If there is no extension, then simply add .flv in the end of a filename (for example here so: "videofile.flv")..

Probably you will need to enable display of expansions of files if the full name of a file isn't visible to you:
- In Windows in any folder on your hard drive go to "Tools" (preliminary having pressed button Alt for occurrence of the top menu, if it is hidden) > "Folder options" > "View" tab then scroll down to "Hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck that box.

Click "ok" to save changes. Now you should see the file extension which you can rename.

You insert the address of page of a videoclip and our site tries to find and define it a direct link on video a file for downloading on computer.

Please, do not forget that the videoclip has a lawful legal owner.



Is site free to use?

Yes. It is absolutely free.



Why could not find video any download links?
On page there is videoclip, I can look, but your site says, what "Could not find any download links or site not supported", why?

The search algorithm direct link for each site the different, therefore on some pages where there is videoclip, the direct link can be not found.

In more details here.



Why the extension (.flv) of a downloaded file - is not installed at once?
Why sometimes video files are saved without ".flv extension? It is necessary to rename manually.

Our site finds straight link on a video file on which it is possible to download it. But itself video the file is allocated not in our north, and on a server of other video-hosting-service. File extension defines an remote server of video-hosting-service.



I can not download a video file. Downloading breaks :-(
I try to download a file, but link breaks and it is necessary to swing again. Why it occurs?

It depends not on us.

The videoclip file is on a video-hosting-service server. Therefore the videoclip file is downloaded not from us.

Probably site of video-hosting-service (where the videoclip is placed) is overloaded. Try to download video a bit later.



The file is not saved in the computer, and at once is played back :-(
At downloading the videoclip automatically starts to be played back in a player. How to make so that a videoclip it was only saved on the computer?

Try to save a videoclip through "Save link as...".

If the downloaded videoclip does not work, it is possible:
