O/T youtube question ?
Turbo Mini Forums

is there any way to download and save to the hardrive the youtube clips ??

tried but failed

You need software called Vdownloader. do you want me to mail you the software?

yes please i will pm you

its a friend of mine he wants some documentries putting to dvd

I use it regularly...

There are a few tips for it (I found this through trial and error)...

Firstly - the Mpeg format seems the best to use.

Next - when choosing a 'size' in vdownloader, first check the text in the 'embeded' info tag to the right of the picture - it'll say somet like this:

<object width = "425' height = 350"><param....

If you choose a size (in vdownloader) larger than the actual size of the video for your copy, the thing craps out. It downloads it, and goes through the 'conversion' to mpeg, but then dissapears.... Or at least it does on my PC!

I usually make the video's one unit smaller on height, and two smaller on width. This seems to work 100% of the time.

Finally - My machine also screws up the conversion if i open another you-tube vid whilst it's downloading/converting. Again - maybe it's just my machine, maybe it isn't...

Overall - it's a beltin package though :)
