Youtube Videos

[TeH]

How can I download youtube videos into a format that Windows media player can open. Because I did find some but they download the video into some other format....

Any help please?

If I'm not mistaken, YouTube videos are embedded as flash, therefore if you download, they will download as flash files.

I think you need to convert them.

You need to convert them,last time i did that i used a program called Alive YouTube Video Converter but if you cant get that there is also a more common one called FLV converter and i also think that is free.

Or you can just use a codec and open it with wmp at that format.

You can use the online download and convert website here: vixy.net : Online FLV Converter : Download online videos direct to PC / iPod / PSP. It's free!

Thanks Jordan, but that seems like low quality to me...
Acheron can you please point me to a codec.. or whatever that is?

[TcM]

Well FLV videos ARE low quality, you can't expect a converter to convert you a high quality video...

I think this may work.

Usually code tags around links are used in certain forums..... but no here you are allowed to make a normal link.
