Guerilla Converter

Multimedia file formats count as a lot, each using different encoders to bundle up quality settings in different ways, and also in an attempt to take less disk space. Some devices require a particular file format to be played, but most of them are used to MP3. In this regard, Guerilla Converter comes with the means to turn FLV files into MP3 in the blink of an eye.

The application doesn’t even need to be installed on your computer to properly functions, which means you can carry it around on a USB flash drive to use on the go. Moreover, the target PC’s health status remains intact, since registries are not a dependency, but you do need to make sure Java Runtime Environment is installed, otherwise the application won’t work.

A compact main window shows up on launch, with a simple input field which tells you all that needs to be done. Following the instructions and clicking that particular field opens up a browse dialog for you to pick a single FLV file, or a directory that contains more. This means batch conversion is possible.

Guerilla Converter relies on the FFmpeg encoder to turn FLV files into MP3. Luckily, you don’t need to have it on your computer, because the application comes with it bundled in the distribution package. Once the process is initiated, you can clearly see the FFmpeg encoder in action in a command prompt window that does all the work.

Files are automatically saved in the source directory. Unfortunately, you can’t pick a different one for the destination. What’s more, there aren’t any quality options to configure, number of channels, or anything else for that matter, so you need to make sure the FLV files you want to convert are at optimum quality.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Guerilla Converter is a fast and efficient application with which to effortlessly convert FLV files into MP3 audio. Although it lacks any kind of options related to quality, or even output, it manages to live up to expectations through its simplicity, efficiency, and ease of use.
