­ì©«¥Ñ fumoon ©ó 29-7-2007 00:05 µoªí You can also use this one :   http://www.download3000.com/download-YouTube_Downloader-count-reg-19063.html   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

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

­ì©«¥Ñ Shiawase ©ó 2-8-2007 16:39 µoªí 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 ...

 

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 .

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

Good for you!

 

Yes, my saved .AVI files are not as clear as the originals on u-tube. I think some loss is inevitable for the FLV-->AVI conversion. But I'm still very glad I get to keep the files. I'm particularly looking forward to watching these files when travelling, once I get a portabloe player (which cost just a few hundred but cannot play FLV). Moreover, if you want better quality, you can save a copy of the FLV file as well, which may be more clear when you play it (with FLV player). §Ú¦nª¾¨¬¬[! ©¯ºÖ«D¥²µM...(can we translate that as "we cannot take Shiawase for granted" ) ¦³±oÚ»¤w¸g¦n¶}¤ß!

Those portable players look just like slim MP3 players, except they have a tiny screen. They're everywhere now (e.g. Broadway/Best/Fortress). The first time I saw them was upstairs at «H©M. They can play MP4, AVI, all kinds of stuff EXCEPT FLV (I was so disappointed when the store owner told me that, then I asked him if he knew how to convert FLV-->AVI, but "no"). That's why I didn't buy it before. So happy now! (not sure there's any discussion here on MP4 players (I think that's the name), but it's just a few hundred bucks anyway...)

 

And thanks for the tips on screen size.
