I found out how to download trailers off youtube, a site called http://www.savevid.com/ downloads youtube and some other sites. However it downloads flash video. Does anyone know how I can convert flash to a format I can burn to a DVD? I can't play the flash as the audio on the computer we use in the booth isn't hooked up to the sound system. Also I want to be able to create a DVD with several trailers that will play all of them by itself. The last couple midnight movies we had so many people coming late... The trailers are not only good advertising but gives some breathing room so the latecomers don't miss any of the movie.

Any help is appreciated.

VLC is free and transcode between just about everything. And, it's available for virtually every common platform, e.g. Mac, *nix, oh, there's another big one I can't remember... Oh, that's right, Windows.

This thing can help you out to convert your video Super video convertor
I think you even have a free version.

If you go to keepvid.com and install their "Keep it" browser button as a mean of downloading trailers, you will be given the choice of format (3gp, flv or mp4).
For conversion, I personnaly use Visual Hub.
Toast can burn autoload/autoplay DVDs but then again I suppose any correct CD/DVD bruner software can do that.
But David's suggestion of VLC is quite good as the software will basically play anything (even hi-res mkv) and you can create a looped playlist of trailers.
