You Tube Downloads

[Nokturnal]

I wanted to do a few Football clips for my Dad - Who's 66 and no idea of computers - and I've saw some great clips on You Tube. When I download the clips they come as FLV. files and won't play on Windows Media Player. Anyone know what I can do next to play the files or make a Disk up for my Dad?

Use VLC to play the files on your computer:

Or use something like SUPER to convert them to DVD:

You can use VLC to convert to wmv or avi too:

Furter to the prevoius two posts, if you want to create a DVD suitable for use on a standalone DVD player , you'll need to convert the avi file to a DVD compatible file type by using Sothink DVD Maker. It's free to download here.
