Downlaoding You Tube/Daily Motion files to Hard Drive

[Valiant]

How can you save these to your hard drive as media files like quicktime or windows media?

[wonderboy]

If you use FireFox ? Then install the add-on called, Downloadhelper. You can save any sites flv videos. There's even an option in the preferences to convert them to mp4, wmv, avi etc...

Downloads and saves .avi's to your hard drive direct from Youtube, it can also save them as .mp4 etc if you wish.

Excellent simple quick free service, paste in the URL and away you go.

download helper is pretty good, works well on all pages with embedded vids. seems to ask to be updated every other day though which is irritating

Thanks for tips

I came across something called Keep Vid http://keepvid.com/ which converts the files online to either flv or mp4 and also Applian Replay Convertor which changes any files to the desired type although this isn't free but is very easy to use as I've tested the trial version. Might give the firefox thing a go and see what it's like.

Seems to be a problem with that download Firefox thing my WMA files are not navigable in that I can't fast forward or rewind them merely play through them in one sitting ( I wonder if it's because it's the unregistered version?)
