I have downloaded Youtube downloader as WolfpucK suggested. I didnt have much luck with Sothink software. I have successfully downloaded a video from Youtube, about 9Mb, so I guess the content is there. It is an FLV format file (flash). No problem, I though, but now I have the video file I cannot open it. I downloaded flash v9 instaler onto my desk top and virus checked it then I installed Flash v9. It is siting in Windows system 32 Macromedia. There is a program called flash player helper that is about 280Kb and 4 files of around 2Mb each. No matter how I try to open the video download with the flash program nothing happens. I have begun to run out of ideas what to check next. any advice anyone has would be apreciated. I am using Windows XP and IE explorer. Thanks again, hope I am not boring you all
I use a piece of open source software called VLC player. There is a nice stable Windows version at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ It plays flash video as well as flash ever plays:D It also plays some rather obscure formats, so it might come in handy for odd jobs in the future.
