Copying a Video from YouTube
John P - 21/6/12 at 04:00 PM

My daughter Tessa was one of the design team working on the new Children's Medical Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Now that this part of the project is complete there is a video on YouTube showing the new facility and I think she's right to be pleased with the result.

I can copy a link to the video which is at http://youtu.be/Oe__BA9mUb0 but would really like to be able to download an actual copy to show to friends and so she can keep it for her CV.

Is this possible?

I have You Tube Pro on my phone which lets me download You Tube vids. I would imagine Google is awash with similar things for the PC.

I just tried typing the word 'keep' into the youtube URL just before the word 'youtube' and sure enough, it takes you to Keeptube. Follow the instructions and bingo!

Get an app called Jdownloader. This will download all sorts like Youtube, Icefilms etc.

Realplayer installed give you a download option when you hover the mouse over the vid..

I'm about to show my complete ignorance here.

Following suggestions I managed to download the file but there were a number of alternative file types to choose from.

At present I have the video in both MPEG-4 and AVI Video formats (not at all sure why!) both of which run OK on my PC. However, what I really would like to achieve is to get it onto either a CD or DVD in a format which can be played with a normal DVD player connected to a television without the need for a PC.

It looks as though my DVD player will play a DVD-R in DVD Video Format so I assume, probably wrongly, that I need to convert the file into this format but is it possible?

Really I could do with an idiots guide.

Yep.

There are loads of software that will do this, again.

Media player will do this easily for you.

Get a disk
Open media player
find the rip to section (depends what MP version you are running)
Drop the file in
click burn!

The type of file you need is a VOB file I think with maybe another file on the disk aswell.

If you type VOB or DVD burn software into google there will be loads.

Good luck

I like jdownloader as all you do is copy and paste the share URL and it does the rest
