thanks. but is there any way to convert the FLV to AVI or MP4 format so I can play it on my PMP? thanks again.

You can also use this one :

It will be saved into .avi format. No needed to use extra players.

excellent, thanks a lot. but I may be missing some codecs (when I play the AVI only sound appears)...

also, anyone knows how I can convert an existing FLV file? I saved it earlier to my PC, but the original u-tube video is deleted now, so there is no link to give to the converter software, i.e. I only have the FLV file itself.

It seems that codec problem can be fixed by installing codecs from

http://www.free-codecs.com/XP_Codec_Pack_download.htm

but it always worries me when I install and run .EXE files.... can any IT expert here tell me these things are virus-free?

Or try this:

directly "save as" function!!

Hi I.T. people, I'm so sorry but I may be asking some stupid questions here .....

1) Are .AVI files similar to .WMV files?  Can we play .AVI type of files using Window Media Player or Real Player?...or do we need to download another software to play it (if so, where to download)?

2) To play .FLV files, do we need to download a special FLV Player?!?  Is it safe and free to download?

(I would love to download YouTube files so that I can keep a copy in my computer, but still not 100% sure what's the best way & easiest way to do so (I may not know how to do it if it's too complicated ))

Please help, thanks heaps!!

I'm no IT people, but from my very limited knowledge,

(1) AVI is one of the most primitive formats for video files, so most players (such as Window Media Player or even a VCD player for your TV) would recognize it; no need to download special players for it (except for the codec issue; just go to that link & install)

(2) FLV cannot be played on Window Media Player and you do need to download an FLV player. I'm not sure which one is safe (I forgot where I downloaded mine, sorry) 

But it seems that if you use bro fumoon's approach, and turn the u-tube file into your own AVI file, then there's no need to bother with any FLV.

The best way to find out is just experiment with it: use fumoon's suggested link http://www.download3000.com/download-YouTube_Downloader-count-reg-19063.html to save the u-tube video on your PC as xxx.AVI. Then just double-click it. Chances are that Window Media Player will start and play the song. But you MAY not see video (only audio). If that's the case, just install the codecs by visiting http://www.free-codecs.com/XP_Codec_Pack_download.htm .

Hey, thank you so much for your detailed explanations!!!!    Very helpful!

My pleasure. Maybe you can experiment with this one:

a really cool song (to me), and I think u-tube will delete it soon (it got removed once before)

Thanks! I have already watched the clip earlier, you posted it on another thread today, didn't u?    ... Southern All Stars' thread??  They have great songs!

Yes, thanks for watching. Here's Nakamura's original version, also nice

ha ha, you are Nakamura's BIG FAN !

Of course la, here's more!

..had problems watching the clip earlier...but I think it's ok...will try again

should be OK now

dinner time, see you guys later!

enjoy dinner!

I have successfully downloaded the Youtube downloader lah!!  So happy!!   Thanks to everyone who has contibuted here

I ended up using the method as suggested by ar_woo & fumoon, ie. used http://www.download3000.com/download-YouTube_Downloader-count-reg-19063.html to save the u-tube video on your PC as xxx.AVI....however, I also had the same problem whereby I could not see the video (only audio though), so had to install the codecs by visiting http://www.free-codecs.com/XP_Codec_Pack_download.htm ...  and after that, I could see the video, so it worked!

But still have one question, I now use Window Media Player to play those downloaded .AVI files, however I find that the quality is not very good (ie. the videos are not very clear)...I would like to ask those people who used this method (such as ar_woo & fumoon or any other oldcakes) whether the same thing happens to you or not, or whether it's because I am using "Window Media Player" to play back the .AVI files which makes the clips look a bit unclear? ...or whether it is normal for the downloaded .AVI to be a bit unclear as compare to when you actually watch the clips on the YouTube website?  Thanks!
