Downloading videos
Are there any (preferably free) programs for downloading video from
the internet? I have Save2pc-YouTube which works fine for YouTube but not for anything else. I'd like something like that to get video's from other sites. Thanks Henry |

I'd like something like that to get video's from other sites. Thanks Henry The easiest and it's free, is to use the firefox browser with it's free add-on's's: "download helper" and "flashgot" These both basically do identical tasks of capturing flash footage to your HDD. You can use one or the other or both. I prefer downloadhelper. http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220 http://www.downloadhelper.net/ Once you have downloaded and installed firefox, download and install the above or use firefoxes own add-on button (FF has many excellent add-on's). Once installed, both appear as buttons in the firefox browser toolbar. These can capture any flash footage - any site not just youtube. Please note that they capture as flash files with the extension .flv Or as MP4 video format which many site are now using (But not youtube yrt) To playback the downloaded flash files, you will need a compliant media player, download the excellent VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC also has the basic capacity to convert .flv files to either wmv or mpeg1/2 Convert only, it cannot trim/edit/overlay etc. But once converted any editing app can be used such as WMM for WMV formats. To convert a downloaded .flv in VLC, whilst playing clicking the file button then the "Wizzard" button. These is also this which I have not used http://www.flashget.com/en/download.htm For all things video on your PC, this is one site you should bookmark in Firefox and add to favorites in Internet Explorer: http://www.videohelp.com/ You are using the spammers/trolls favorite of eternal-september.org to access this site, so you probably know but best to explain for anyone reading. Firefox does not intefere with Internet explorer, you can run either or both. Once you have installed firefox you will probably find it becomes your browser of choice, but you're advised to maintain Internet Explorer as Windows critical updates are very fussy about which browser it will use. |

Downloading videos
What pc program will allow you to download videos? Is there a
tutorial on how to just use your pc to download videos? How do I do it myself without 3rd party software please?

In the task of capturing flash video from web sites your first step should be to format C drive. |
