Capturing YOUTUBE videos

[randyrls]

This is just because some of our members have posted videos on YOUTUBE.

A friend of mine asked if YOUTUBE Videos can be captured to your local PC. I did some research and determined it is possible. The captured video is pretty ugly though.

Copy the url from the YOUTUBE video to the clipboard.

Go to web site http://www.get2pc.com
Paste the url from YOUTUBE into the white box and click on the wide gray button. When prompted to save the file, save the file with a resaonable name and make sure to add the .flv extension to the file name.

It will take awhile. You will need to install or have a flash player.

Of course, you can just bookmark the YOUTUBE page.

I use RealPlayer, but have an idea that only works with Firefox. The downloaded video is of the same "quality" as the YouTube video.

"Wimpy" is a good free FLV player.

XGet is a Firefox add-on that downloads and converts a whole bunch of formats, including YouTube.

I use a program called "Super", which has a copyright C mark after it. works great and I can get just the video, or just the audio and can convert it to any file format I want. It's free.
