A well done tutorial; thanks for sharing. One question: must you give the file an extension in the file name box (i.e.dot mp4)? I thought that that was what the select box below the file name area was for.

you dont need to rename every sigle one if you down loading alot. put a name and then in the folder of that media type, right click-properties-change(toprig­ht)-Click VLC....all files will adapt to a flv vlc mp4.
