FH, AS and Youtube

Post by Stevebye » 03 Jul 2014 12:55

I have removed my 10 year old Xp desktop from the internet and now only use my Laptop to connect. Is it possible to download all the animations on youtube so I can load them on to my Xp?

I have taken the Xp (Dell 4500) back to day one setup....Wow! did that speed it up! :)

There are plenty of YouTube Downloader programs on the web, but I have used any of them to be able to suggest a good one.

I use the free version of ytddownloader http://www.ytddownloader.com/ and have found it works fine if you just do one file at a time, even with HD videos. I think that the paid for version allows multiple downloads.

I use Firefox as my browser, and have used two different extensions -- Download Helper
http://www.downloadhelper.net

and

Flash Video Downloader

http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/

There are others, but these are the two I've tried so far.
