It will save as either an MP4 or a .flv file. There are lots of free flv players on the web. Just be careful to check for viruses when downloading any executable.
Thanks for the info. I use the latest Firefox which is still incompatible with Adobe Flashplayer (I don't know why Firefox hasn't solved the Adobe problem which cropped up lasyt year). So I'll use Internet Explorer for downloading Youtube.

Do you mean you're getting an error message on YouTube regarding Flash Player or JavaScript?
I started getting the same thing about a year ago (or more?), on IE. Searching the web for a solution, I found I was not the only one, and that there was no solution yet.
This means I can no longer watch YouTube videos, unless they are embedded in another page (on a blog, for instance).
Here's what I get with Firefox/Youtube: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. "
Here's what I get on Firefox/FSM and other websites: "Additional plugins are required to display all media on this page."
Internet Explorer. The nice thing is I can even convert the files to a regular DVD if I want to.
Eric, how do you burn Youtube videos to dvd? I've been downloading and saving a lot of old 70's and 80's horror movie trailers I'd like to transfer to dvd. I saved them in my realplayer, but everytime I try to burn them on dvd-r, a message pops up telling me I can't because of the way the videos were formatted.
I had to download "Replay Converter" which lets me convert a Youtube file to wmv (or mpeg if I wanted) and then once it's a Windows Media File wmv it's easy to make a DVD from that on the computer. I was able to take a guy's eight part You Tube file of Vikki Carr guest hosting the Tonight Show in 1973 (over 50 minutes of the program) and convert it to a single DVD with everything in sequence. Obviously you're not going to get top of the line picture quality on your DVD, but it's certainly good to have it in a format where you don't have to watch it on the computer.

Thanks! This will help a lot.
That's funny about the Vikki Carr show. I'm also a Vikki Carr fan, and I downloaded the Burt Bacharach 70's show with Vikki as a guest. That one's also split up into four or five 10 minute segments.

It's the exact same thing as I get, Dragon. I've tried downloading, uninstalling, reinstalling Flash Player all sorts of ways, to no avail. YouTube is the source of the problem, for some odd reason-- all the odder as it worked well for me at the beginning.
Real Player 11. When you have it, everytime there's an on-line clip it makes the RealPlayer download option automatic. Make sure you have an FLV Player software downloaded for easy viewing of the files on your own and then Replay Converter to change them to WMV files for DVD conversion.
I use https://www.tube2mp3.com/ - the handling is super easy. Just enter the url and download. The quality of the music you download is very high as well.
