quade 3 #2 January 27, 2012 There are programs which, when you've entered in the YouTube URL, will download the .flv file to your hard drive. Easily Googlable to find the programs, but since you specifically didn't want a reference to other web sites . . .quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 3 #12 January 27, 2012 QuoteIsn't that Vista? XP had a gray start button? XP COULD have a grey button, like 98 and 95 did, if configured. XP comes stock with the GREEN button. Vista and 7 have start 'orbs' by default. (Can also be re-configured to have the grey button as well though)"I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dthames 0 #18 January 27, 2012 I use one called Freemake. It creates .avi files and appears not to do odd things to the computer. I have used it on XP and Windows 7 64 bit. It also works with several other sites that host video content. http://www.freemake.com/Instructor quote, “What's weird is that you're older than my dad!” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
