Is there a way to capture video from an internet such as youtube on to a computer in mpeg format?

See http://computing.net/digitalphoto/w... or from another thread that I am unable to locate: Copying Videos from Google or YouTube 1. Watch a video from a site and wait for it to finish downloading. 2. Go to “about:cache” in the address bar thing (without the quotation marks). 3. Copy the “Cache directory” into the address bar of an explorer window and browse there. 4. Arrange the files by modification time. 5. Skipping any “_CACHE_” files, check the tool tips of each file, starting from the end, until you see one that’s an appropriate size for the video (usually several megabytes). 6. Copy the file wherever you want it, and rename it appropriately, with an ‘flv’ extension. 7. Just refresh the explorer window (F5) and repeat from step five for each additional video you’ve watched. Or http://www.vdownloader.es/ has VDownloader 0.51, which has a *lot* more range for an up-n-comer- can search sites, queue downloads, and lists 18 sites it can slurp including 5 adult sites. Both your targets are on that list. free. HTH Bryan

Just go to www.youtubex.com Don't squat with your spurs on!

If you run Firefox browser, download the free button, just start your Utube video and click the button and Firefox saves it where you tell it to. Simple. Import it into Super (free)which will convert it from flv to mpeg2 in two mouse clicks. In fact, by converting into mpeg3 it will strip the audio from the video so you can save audio only if you wish.

Ranchhand, thanks for the awesome link...I'll give it a shot on my video editing PC Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results as it will help others.

Ok Ranchhand, is this a trick site of some sort? Where exactly IS the download of that Super program. All I get is, click on download, keeps taking you to different pages with no program that I can see to download Thanks Ok, I finally found it....I really hate amateur sites like that, I guess it would be alright if someone wanted to read text all day....NOT ME! Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results as it will help others.

Yeah, you know what, you are absolutely right. I was at work and hurrying my post, and afterward I remembered that it was a real pain finding the actual download button. Sheeeze, can't these guys just say, "Download Here" on a hot button??
