Re: downloading videos youtube,



Re: converting YourTube vids

 I recently discovered a method for converting these files:

 I already had a paid for registered copy of Xilisofts 3GP Converter V 2.51; this inexpensive software converts various video formats to 3GPP, 3GPP2, Avi, DivX Avi, Mpeg 1,2 & 4 and .wav formats. There are a wide range of custom parameters – you can alter bitrate for both audio & video, framerate, crop, target video size, choose from available installed codecs etc. – the results are great and the process simple.

 The viewed YourTube vid can be found by doing a search for “get_video” on the PC. Locate and copy this file to a suitable folder. Then import into Xilisoft 3GP Converter; this file can be read and previewed by the software even without a file extension. Set the target video parameters and press “Encode”. The progress/status bar on the software initially confuses because it seems to jump to 100% straight-away; leave it, and in a short while it displays a “Completed” message. I forget all the stuff I learned about the DVD format but there’s bound to be one target vid format which you can then use in your DVD authoring/burning software.

 Hope this helps,

Ralph
