I have a problem using IE9 when downloading from Youtube. When I select the clip I have the opportunity of selecting various formats to use.

I always select MP4. The download proceeds happily enough and places the file in the Download folder. THat's where things get interesting.

When I select the downloaded file and transfer it to a folder and try to open the download, I get a message that requires me to select a program to open the file.

Most downloads show and extensiom of .MP4 but in the above cases the download is shown as File, not MP4. There is a message saying that the file extension is (.).

If I use Firefox I do not have this problem. So, although I select MP4 as the download format I end up with File in IE9 and I have to do it all again using Firefox.

Any solutions anyone?

1300532 2012-09-12 04:00:00 Add to the end of the name '.mp4'. So instead of 'video1' add .mp4 to make 'video1.mp4' stratex5 (16685)
