Hi everyone.
Actually you can download videos from you tube just by changing the URL to include the word �bajar�; what you would get is www.bajaryoutube.............com (in the middle goes what you get on your computer. It works from Spain; I don�t know elsewhere, but it should. I hope it helps. |

Thanks you for such an incredible and easy tip!!!
But I�ve got a problem: when I download it, it is in .flv format. In order to be able to reproduce it with Windows Media at school I need to convert it to an .avi format.
How can I do it? 
I know there are many programs that can convert it in the internet to download. Which is best? How do you do it, Chrisholm?
PLEASE HELP ME!
Thanks!!!!!

Well, I don�t convert them. You�ve got to find a flv player - I actually started all this because of an article I read in the APAC magazine. (It cost some $50, actually, and it allows you to download most kinds of videos). But this was some time ago. At school the IT specialist has installed a �gomvideoplayer� or something like it - I�m sorry but I do not have the reference here, get back to me if you want- which can �read� most video formats (the ones you capture when downloading from youtube, NYtimes, etc). Keep in touch and I�ll try to give you more details. I was also enthralled by the very simplicity of downloading from UTube! |

I�m also an APAC member. I�ll have a look at the magazines I�ve got at home. Thanks
I tried to use the .flv videos at school but we couldn�t see anything. If the Internet works, there�s no big problem �cause we can just watch them online. But when it doesn�t it�s a nightmare!!!!
I�ll try to do my best when there�s no internet connection!
Thank you anyway.

Hi, I�m back.
What you need is a flv player which can also show most other kinds of videos. It�s free and you can download it at:
This is not what appeared in the APAC magazine, but things have evolved since then, I guess.
I hope this helps. You can try it out at home - sometimes it�s hard to install things at school if you aren�t the administrator! |

You�re right. It is in fact impossible to install any kind of software in school! So that�s my problem. That�s why I want to convert the file.
Well, thank you anyway!!
