There you go =]
It converts youtube video's into any format you like.
Then sends them to your email address two minutes later and you can download them.

OR

You can download itube, search for it on google.
But I find the Zamzar.com method is quicker.

Vixy.net is the best when it works...
However, due to them not using emails but actually providing you with a direct download, their server is busy almost all of the time =] it's busy almost everytime I use it infact.

But you can try vixy.net too.

And i wanted to put it on youtube, does anyone know how it's done?
Mrluvaluva

That clip is already on Youtube. You would need to download it onto your pc, and then upload it again onto your youtube account.

This usually helps for me:

Make sure you are using http://www.youtube.com URLs and not http://uk.youtube.com :thumbs:

firefox users should just install this, its quick and ace.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4318

and vlc media player is free to download and can play the files as they are with no need to convert to other formats.
