Re: [KLF] OFF TOPIC.........You Tube Video ripping / downloading
Here's some info I've copied from Tom over on the Stephen Duffy Yahoo Group: Actually, youtube videos download to your PC in a tempory Internet folder before playing. They're in a format with a .flv extension. If you search your temp files right after playing a video, you'll find such a file there somewhere with a generic type of name. Just rename the file and copy it to a permanent storage folder. There's at least one FLV player out there. I use one by Riva (link below). There might be better players available. Quality is poor, but it's better than nothing for saving old music videos you might not otherwise ever see. http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?id=422&L=3 John

If you wish to view them in a more convenient player or whatever, SUPER (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) can convert the Flash video files to a wide range of other formats. Given the rather low quality of videos in Youtube, something like MPEG-1 should be more than okay... -Juha
