Okay, I am new to OBS and also to forums, but I really need help. I am using OBS to record videos of myself playing games and using Movie Maker to edit them. My videos are saved in VLC media file(.flv) which does not seem to work with Movie Maker. When I add the videos to Movie Maker and try to edit them, a message comes up and tells me that either the file is corrupted or is in a format that Movie Maker doesn't recognize. I have been trying to find a free way to convert the files, but am having no luck. The last thing I can think of to do, is to record my videos as wmv, but I don't know how to do that.

I hope that made sense, please help!

Looking at the list of supported codecs for Windows Movie Maker it appears that FLV containers and AAC audio aren't on the list. That means you'll need to remux the file from your existing FLV container into a supported MP4 container, and probably re-encode the audio from AAC to MP3 as well. Are we having fun yet?

I think the FFMPEG command you'd want to use is ffmpeg.exe -i input.flv -c:v copy -c:a mp3 -copyts output.mp4
