@abc - FLV Extract's output is the exact audio stream from the video. So if the audio output is AAC, the video was using AAC.

Any Video Converter is a video conversion tool designed to convert your files to formats playable on an iPod, PSP, or DVD. Though it is basically a front-end for MEncoder, it is far less robust than other front-ends. However, it is very useful if you're intending to make DVD's, iPod or PSP videos.
Note: The latest version of Any Videeo Converter is no longer portable. As such, I have made the last portable version I have available for direct download.
