Some FLV videos convert upside-down:

First make sure that you have the most recent version of Replay Converter installed. The latest version is always available here. If an FLV video converts upside-down try the flip video option. Here's how:

  1. In Replay Converter right click on the selected Target Format in the Target Format drop down list box.
  2. Select Edit Target Format Properties.
  3. In the video/audio settings, check the Flip Video(s) check box and then click OK.
  4. Click Go to convert the file again.


Please Note: Any changes you make to the conversion parameters are only in effect for the upcoming task. The defaults are restored for subsequent conversion jobs.

I can't play or convert a video downloaded from Keepvid, Videodownload.net or other sites

If you've obtained a video file from a download site like Keepvid or videodownload.net, try renaming the file with a .flv extension (name it like "myvideo.flv") before converting it. Often times downloaded files don't have the proper .flv extension needed or playback and conversion.

My file does not convert, or the video and audio are out of sync.

  1. Right click on the source file that you wish to convert in the source file list box
  2. Select Troubleshoot
  3. The status for that file should read TShoot.
  4. Click the Go button to convert the file again.

 

My computer is sluggish while converting. How can I speed it up?

You can adjust Replay Converter's settings to give processor priority to your other programs or to Replay Converter. Click on Options. Near the bottom of the window, you'll find Computer Resource Usage During Conversion: Select normal for faster conversions or low for better computer responsiveness while converting.

I can't convert WMA (Windows Media Audio) files or DRM protected videos.

Many .wma files are protected with a DRM license. This means that you cannot copy them or convert them.

There is a solution however - you can use Replay Music to record them as MP3 files. Here's how to do it:

  1. Open Replay Music.
  2. Start a new recording session.
  3. In Windows Media Player (or other player), make a playlist of the .WMA files you want to convert, and then play it.
  4. When the playlist has finished playing, Replay Music will have MP3 files waiting for you. All songs will be tagged with the artist, album, title and genre information.

Some videos are copy protected with a DRM license and cannot be converted. Use Replay Screencast to record these videos as you play them from your desktop instead.
