| 647273 | 2008-03-08 07:37:00 | Is Quicktime installed on the laptop?? If it isnt, you'll have to download it from the Apple site. Or use Quicktime alternative. Did you go to the link I posted, which will convert it to Mpeg or MP4? Are you going to put this on a monitor or something other than the laptop, when you play it? |

| 647275 | 2008-03-08 07:53:00 | Dont change it from codec,to another,to another. This SUMS the distortions.Try not to use real/quicktime/wmv this only complicates it and you can accidentally put DRM on it. Because then if your friend wants it on their usb stick for example, theyl need that proprietary video player also. Sorry - DVD is mpeg2. Winff has heaps - PAL DVD 'high quality' Or Xvid codec. VLC player for playback. Set it to two pass. You could set the bitrate in the options to ~1024kbps if its youtube(YT being ~256k flv)Setting this bitrate abit higher than the original helps to avoid distortion - and theres not much point setting it to 8000kbps. Test it out.I use winff quite often for stubborn/half corrupt videos. |

| 647278 | 2008-03-08 08:36:00 | Use VLC to play it back on the laptop and save all the bother with Quicktime. Its a lot more stable and plus you have the option of playing all sorts of formats later on. |

| 647281 | 2008-03-08 08:52:00 | Yep - downloaded ok, but won't play. :( Your PC cant even play an MPEG? Maybe its non standard - confuses WMP or similar. |

| 647282 | 2008-03-08 21:06:00 | Good morning - funny how things seem much easier in the cold light of day (and I wasn't drinking!). I have successfully converted and downloaded from both ConvertTube & CatchVideo sites this morning (but on my lappy - there are problems on my desktop that I am ignoring at the moment). The quality isn't great - both the same. The only comment I would make is that the ConvertTube site was MUCH quicker than the CatchVideo site. All in all - a great learning experience for me! Thanks to all for your help. :) |
