| 1369069 | 2014-03-01 06:49:00 | SWMBO uses FreeMake to d/l videos from Youtube. She can't use this though to download say a training video from anywhere else. She asked me to ask here what the guys recommend - she is doing an on-line Dreamweaver tutorial and would really like to d/l the videos they provide (she's got the appropriate permissions). She tried a few programs off CNet and other general sites but the amount of malware was frightening - I had to remove about 200 malware infections ex CNet. Any suggestions? Thanks Sarel |

| 1369072 | 2014-03-01 07:29:00 | Just went to Adobes site after doing a search for "on-line Dreamweaver tutorial" found the following video, it played and Internet Download Manager downloaded it quicker than the shake of two rattles ( less than 5 seconds) On the left is the page / original video, on the right is Windows media player playing it :) 5582 |

| 1369075 | 2014-03-01 14:50:00 | Hey thanks guys, I'll ask SWMBO to bake you each a yummy cupcake (she is renowned for her glorious cupcakes). I'll let her choose which one WT. Lawrence, she's a Google Chrome fanatic, as opposed to me being a FF fan - and she refuses to use it. "Clashes with school system". sarel |

| 1369076 | 2014-03-01 14:56:00 | Yeah Speedy, what you say is true. I've never seen so many toolbars, ads, and other cr*ppola that came with the downloader she got from CNet. Who knows, it could have been a good one but I did not care - uninstalled everything possible and then ran the trusted anti-malware free programs. sarel |

Thanks Sarel If she's wanting to learn web design she would be better off joining Codecademy. It's free and it walks you through HTML CSS and JavaScript. It also has user forums for when you get stuck. It's also not necessary to use Dreamweaver for coding. I use Sublime Text 2 which is free for students. |

| 1369078 | 2014-03-01 17:58:00 | Donwload helper sucks as it never gets the video you want - just the first one yo looked at. The best one imho with no adware and that works very well is The Easy Video Downloader Express firefox add-on. The guy asks for a voluntary donation. I just wish its name was easier to write. |
