Thanks for the u tube downloader M/Bot, have you a download that enables me to burn them onto a dvd?

melvbot · 15-12-2008, 11:02 PM

vixy.net : Online FLV Converter : Download online videos direct to PC / iPod / PSP. It's free!

If you find a Youtube vid you like copy and paste the address into this site and it can convert the file online to AVI so you can download it and burn it. Youtube videos are pretty low quality so watching them on anything other than the size of the YouTube player makes them look awful.
