Hi,

I see lots of sites that help you make copies of youtube videos. Are any of these safe, and not just virus and spyware scams?

Thanks.

free called

orbit

to do that

Thanks Raven, I'll check that out!

If you use firefox as a web browser you can get download helper as an add on it works on a bunch of sites.

There are a few Firefox plugins that will do it for you. I've used Download Helper with success.

And if you aren't using Firefox as your browser, what's wrong with you? :bshake:

Thanks Raven, I used Orbit and it was great. My only beef is now whenever I want to look at email attachments etc I get Orbit wanting to download them. But nevermind that for now...

Now I need to edit these downloads into an separate video presentation. I need to know what to do with the .flv files I get. What do you recommend for slicing and dicing and pulling out clips to put in something else?

Thanks.

not sure ..... if there's a free one out there for that

It doesn't have to be free...

Have not done this yet but I found this: http://www.jakeludington.com/movie_maker/20070321_edit_youtube_videos_with_windows_movie_ma ker.html

PS - be sure to download the video converter, not the audio converter linked in the article: http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx
