    Lightbulb Calling All Computer Wizzes! How Do You Download a Video...

    ...from You Tube, Google, or MySpace and save it to my computer/hard drive? I'm playing with Gif Animation Programs, and I need these videos to create them. How do I do it? Thanks for any help, my computer geniuses!

    Hahaha! I remember that one! Okay. I downloaded it, but it's saying that it can't open it, and it needs to know what program created it? It got saved, though. AAARRRGGHHH!!! My head is about to explode, LOL!

    No, you don't need to download anything. All you have to do is paste the youtube url address into the box at the top and click the 'Start' button. The website will convert it into an avi file for you to download.

    That's what I did. I'm talking about trying to open it after the conversion. Do you keep a folder with all of your saved/downloaded videos? Ah well... let me give my head some time to cool down and I'll figure it out, hehe.

    I download directly to my desktop but it shouldn't make a difference if you download the video to a specific folder. I tried it out and didn't have any problems opening it with Windows Media Player. Maybe check the file types selected in your Media Player options and make sure .avi extensions are selected?
