No, but that’d be interesting.

I can download from Youtube and change the video format but I’ve never tried to burn it to a DVD or even a CD...

I assume you mean a DVD that would be recognized by a TV’s DVD player?

never tried it, I am sure there are probably a lot of FReepers that have though.

Free Studio manager

DVDVideoSoft

You need DVD authoring software. If you have it, download the YouTube video via a Firefox extension (search extensions for “video downloader”). Make sure to pick the highest quality version of the video to download. Then drop the video on your new DVD project, insert a blank DVD-R, and burn.

If you have a Mac, it came with iDVD, and it’s brain-dead to do this. Click to start a new project, pick a template, drop the file onto it, and burn.

For a PC, more recent versions of Windows Movie Maker will do it, or Windows DVD Maker on the ultimate versions of Windows Vista and 7.

I use WinFF to convert the *.flv file to a VCD compliant *.mpeg file, then process the *.mpeg file with VCDEasy to make a playable VCD. I make VCDs because the You Tube files are short and I don't want to waste a DVD blank for a short file. (Also, I have a lot of blank CDs sitting around.)

You can find more information about both programs at videohelp.com, which will also guide you to clean downloads and guides for using the software. This is a great site.

Download “MacX HD Video Converter Pro For Windows”

It will let you download videos directly from YouTube and burn them to DVD.

You’ll have to search for it. I can’t recall where I got it from but it is free.

There are various programs that will let you capture youtube video. I have used both Roxio and Nero to turn those files to DVD.

you can get a add on for Firefox that will covert it for you it is called “Video Download Helper” you can covet to ipod, avi, and DVD Pal or DVD NTSC and many other types. When you click to download it gives you an option to download and convert.
It may say you need to install something usually Windows Media Player if you use windows you should be ok.

If you have a lot of *.flv files, you can convert each of them to *.mpeg files, and then use a program called SVCD2DVD to compile a DVD with a lot of material from many files. Info about SVCD2DVD is also at videohelp.com.

OK told you wrong it might ask for Gstreamer or FFmpeg to be installed.

Second this:
add on for Firefox that will covert it for you it is called “Video Download Helper”

THat will convert it, you still need to download something like ImgBurn to burn the DVD and if you plan to put multiple YT videos on one DVD you need a DVD menu editor like DVDStyler.

http://www.imgburn.com/

http://www.dvdstyler.de/en/

Those are free, you can ubuy something like Roxio or Nero or Adobe Premiere or whatever if you want to spend some money and get everything you need in one software suite.

First, download the highest quality version of the video that you can from YouTube.

Download Any video Converter or some similar conversion software and convert the video to .wmv. an an MPEG-2 file. Be sure to check your settings so that you're converting to the same file dimensions (640x480) and a compatible audio codec.

You can import the converted video file into Windows Movie Maker and burn a DVD.

I use anything that has the options burn image or burn ISO, right now i am using Brasero and K3b but I think these are only offered on Linux. Imageburn seems I used that on Windows years ago so if it is still around it must be pretty good.

I didn’t mention that I did download the file yesterday and chose to convert it to a .wmv file , which t remains as I had trouble converting that file into something that could be burned in WMM . Should I download again and choose to convert to a different type of file ?

I find it frustrating to read typos describing specific steps to precisely follow to achieve result.

Please, simply proofread your posts!
