I was just wondering if anyone could give me a crash course on how to save videos from Youtube onto my PC's hard drive so that I can save them onto disc.

Okay...I did this but it's saved in a file my PC doesn't recognize. Now what?

 

[Hunter Rider]

You need a VLC player to play it

Do I have to do it this way Can't I just convert the videos into another format and use my movie editing software to edit them together and save them as an .avi file so I can convert it on my laptop and save it as a DVD?

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

Nevermind. I figured out how to do it.

The Total Video Coverter linked on the page you gave me.

That's impossible. It's caused by the compression used for Flash movies. You can't revert it since there's a loss of data in the compression.

Ah, well I guess I'll have to just watch these videos on post it note size screens since they look better at that resolution.

Does anyone know anything about SUPER or Riva FLV Encoder?

Because I'm confused as to which one to use. Especially since I'm clueless about how each one works anyway.

A little more info about what you're seeing in the way of issues and erros might be helpful.

Well, I download the file, and my VLC player doesn't play it. I change the extension and everything.

Hunter Rider has given you a link to download these videos... In that same link there is a help section with a guide on how to view and convert these files... So yeah... Go there. READ!... Actually you don't have to read, the guy made a flash animation for those who are really slow.

What was the file extension?

Window Media Player Classi plays almost anything, including Flash.
