1315715 2012-11-30 22:55:00 I have had a request from a good friend of mine, to make a DVD of a short video available online. I told him that it was easy enough to make a DVD - that is the easy part - but I don't know how to download and save the video. I am hoping that there is a clever person out there who can instruct me how to do that.

In case you want to have a look at the video I want to download, it is at westernleader.realviewdigital.com and look for the video link on the top left of the photo.

Your help is appreciated.:thanks

However this (www.youtube.com) is the actual link and you can easily Google "youtube downloader"...

That is what I said! Particularly when it is possible to record eight hours! But that's what he asked for. He is a very good friend, so I said that I would do it for him.

Thanks for your help, Johcar and Bevy. It gives me a wee job to do.

Much appreciated.:thanks

The youtube url is embeded in a iframe and is this: www.youtube.com Then enter that url (or the native youtube url by clicking WL -Tramline in the video then the share button below to yield youtu.be Then enter the url in a online video dowloader, e.g. KeepVID.

1315720 2012-12-01 03:30:00 I wish I could down load some of the movie clips the BBC put up!

Firefox DownloadHelper is great for Youtube but does not do BBC vids (for me at least)

From where exactly are you wanting to download BBC clips ?

I'm guessing the BBC but it's against forum rules to publish how to do that

Quite right, we don't want everyone doing it, do we ?
