O/T - need some computer help

[Vintagedeputy]

There are some videos on the internet that I'd like to put on a disk for training purposes. Can anyone tell me how to go about doing it? I'm clueless.

Jim,

Many video stores have a back room where you can rent or purchase a wide variety of 'training' videos.

Greg - haha, guess I left myself wide open for that one. Although I'm not afraid to admit that I've driven past one of those stores one time, haha...

sooooooo, anyone else?

I think Windows Media Player (my default player) has a Burn tab at the top of the player. I've never tried burning online videos to disk, simply because I doubt they would look very good on a television screen.

easy....

downloading video clip:

1. go to this link (clipnabber.com): http://clipnabber.com/
2. when you arrive, note the "paste url:" bar
3. go to your video on expert village and copy the info in the address bar
4. paste this info in the "paste url:" bar at clipnabber and select "nab video"
5. you will notice a spinning icon in the middle of the page as it fetches the clip
6. once complete, an "flv download link" will replace the spinning icon
7. right click this link and save it to your desktop

converting .flv video to .avi or .mpg:

1. go to this link and download .flv converter: http://freewarelist.net/Pazera-Free-...Converter.html
2. install program
3. run program, select your downloaded file and hit "convert"


with this setup you can also download and save many other videos you come across on the net including youtube videos...
