How can I transfer a Utube video to my computer hard drive. So it will appear as a wmv.?
hello fasteddy999,





I use 'zillatube'





It is very easy to download, plays and convert videos. (supports mpg, avi, mp3, mp4, and more).





It works very well...just google search 'zillatube'.

Reply:I use two steps, but I'm on Linux. First I save it to my hard drive as an flv file, then I convert it.





Saving it is no problem. There is a python script called youtube-dl which is apparently OS independent. I used to use that but now I've discovered DownloadHelper which is a firefox extension. As such I can guarantee it will work on Windows or the MacOS the same way it works for me.





Once I have it I use the swiss army knife of video programs for Linux. it's called Mplayer. They do have a version for Windows but to be honest since it is such a different OS even conceptually I don't know if it works the same way. Anyhow there have to be flv to wmv converters which are windows speccific out there.





As it stands now there is a two-step process. I use firefox with DownloadHelper. Then I use mencoder from the mplayer package. I've linked to the relevent pages in sources. If they are not useful at least they should give you ideas.
