    What version of VLC do you have?

    VLC should play YouTube .flv files just fine.

    If you're using Firefox, download as .flv using the following plugins:

    Unplug https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2254

    -or-

    Fast Video Download https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3590

    There is no need to 'transcode' .flv files for use on VLC. What are the problems you're having?

    Why are you content on converting to .avi? Avi sucks, it's bad quality and huge file sizes.

    VLC will play .flv files fine, do the above.

    Just to warn you, there's a lot of dodgy software being sold as 'joiners', be careful what and where you download something from.

    Avidemux is free and safe.

    Avidemux is fairly unforgiving, it is not beginner friendly, but it will handle\manipulate a large range of video formats, including .mp4.
