downloading freeware

ok i recently brought a multimedia iriver (because they are way cooler than ipods :), although i can't wait til i get a mac computer) so i decided to download a program that will convert my downloaded flv youtube videos to avi which can then be added to the iriver. this was easy because i just googled 'convert flv to imc' and it came up with a list of downloadable programs. the hard part was finding the free ones. i eventually found one that was free but i put a watermark on the videos so i kept looking til i found one that worked. i found it really easy to use and it didnt suck up the internet as some downloads do (my mum is really concious of that) so i belive it was worthwhile (ive now got a whole bunch of youtube videos on my iriver whooo). i also think i will use freeware more often now.
