I figured it out. The site defaults to local files. You have to click on "URL" in order to get a box that accepts URLs.

Strange. What you're doing should work. Send me the link to the video you want to download and I'll try it myself and see what's going on.

Michael,

When I insert the URL from a YouTube video into the Zamzar "Step 1" box, I get an error message (because, I think, the URL is for the whole page, not just for the video playing on the page, and so it does not have a video format extension). How do you get around this?

Thanks,

Yes, there are a lot of options in step 2 of the process. I would suggest "mov" under the "Video formats" list. The video you get might be a little larger in size, but it's a versatile format. Of course, I'm a Mac person so that's a little bias there. If you're a Windows person then you would want to go with the "wmv" format.

Hope that helps. Feel free to email me offline if you have other questions,

Michael

Michael,
You have any advice on download format, etc., to make it easier on us? As I recall, there were some options and questions to be considered.

Carol,

You're probably thinking of an online service called "Zamzar". Here's the link: http://www.zamzar.com/

I've tried it - it works great.

Dear Tipsters,
I have been searching through about a million message looking for a discussion thread on how to download youtube videos. So far I haven't found what I'm looking for. Didn't several people post links to free programs that would let you do that or am I imagining it? I remember thinking I didn't want to delete the posts because it seemed like really useful information, unfortunately I neglected to move them to a folder for easy access. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Carol
