Hello All,

I enjoy you tube videos like many of youall,
I'm curious is ther a way to save the video to
my computer? Usually I just add it to my favorites
but from time to time the videos are deleted for
one reason or another and are no longer accessable.

If anyone has any pointers or a understanding of
this process please pass along the information.

Many thanks.

Cheers.

I use an app called TubeTV, but it's Mac-only, so chances are you're out of luck.

I used one called VideoGet! (by NuclearCoffee) on Windows, but I believe it was a pay-for program... I got it for free from Giveawayoftheday.com.

There may be other options... I think RealPlayer (Windows) has an option, but I've never used it.

I use this.

A guy at work just filmed his computer screen using his phone, but I'm sure there's a more high-tech way...

Hello Gadabout,

The www.savevid.com link work fine
as did the website itself.

Super neat.

Thanks again.

Cheers.

Hello EllenW,

Ellen, I do believe I'm one of the last
of a breed that has no cellular telephone.

Cheers.

i use an application called miro, works fine.

I use a Firefox extension called Download Helper. It puts an icon in Firefox's menu bar that lets me grab video from any site that allows it.

Haha - that made me laugh! Mind you, it's about my level...

On which, for a complete dunce (me) can anyone tell me, if I'm playing a DVD on my computer, is there a way to capture a single frame as an image? I tried "print screen" and pasting to a document in Photoshop, but it doesn't seem to work.

No copyright infringing activities planned: I just want a nice picture of a whale from a wildlife DVD...

Cheers - C

Hello Gadabout and Mr Bill -

Does that app also allow you save/burn to DVDs?

If so, what format? FLV? WMV?

Thanks!

I use RealPlayer,
It's so great, when you open every sites that contained video, there's a butten at the top of the video "download this video"

Hi Mike,

MPEG-4 movie is about as much info as I know.
records to a disc just fine.

Cheers.

Hi, Ceri. The DVD playing applications that are bundled with computers generally don't allow screen snapshots. I know it's not possible with the DVD player on my Mac.

There are 3rd party video apps that do allow DVD screenshots. The VLC (Video Lan Client) media player is excellent. It's free and it's cross platform with versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Unix. You can download it at and check it out at:

Hope this helps!

I use an application called Ulead Video Studio to do that. I suppose there must be something free on the web somewhere but I don't know of any offhand.

I myself have a program called Youtube Downloader. You can convert the video to all sorts for formats, from Windows Media Player to Ipod movies.
