Maybe someone can offer a GUI alternative. Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40.

I'm presuming here that the Windows version looks very similar to the Linux version that I normally use. I used menu Media->Convert/Save I then uses [File]->Add to add the file I wanted to convert (in my case an m4v I had) I then clicked [Convert/Save], then [Browse], then modified the File_Name in the lower box to have the suffix .flv instead of .m4v, then clicked [Save], then [Start]. The [x] button or menu Media->Quit quits. For the record and why I use the command-line for so much, the same task in ffmpeg is just this: ffmpeg -i P4080003.m4v P4080003.flv Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
