Looks good to me, too.

Thanks! Sorry I missed saving that great Israeli war tune "Yallah Ya Nasrallah" before it was removed over a spurious muslim/liberal complaint campaign

You do realize you are supporting the impeding of technological progress.

I never thought that was conservative.

BTW: I searched around and found a little freeware player for FLV files.

Riva Encoder & Riva Player are also free and works well. There are a few tricks to make the Producer re-encode to other formsts.

Better yet, try using the eRightsoft SUPER v2006 free video encoder, one of the few that will transcode FLV's to avi, mpg, divx, etc. It's based on a bunch of open-source codecs and can transcode virtually any format to any other. Pretty slick.

I'd love to be wrong on this, but it seems to me that most people (if not most Freepers) will use this in ways that may very well constitute copyright infringement.

Shh! Don't tell anyone but I may jaywalk later on today.

Everything you "see" on the Internet is saved to your Temp Internet Files folder. Just go to the folder and the file will be there for you to copy or to do whatever...

Look at the cache files, select Details from the View menu, click the heading for the Date column twice to sort into reverse order and the most recent files will show at the top of the list. Since vid files are big, pick the most recent one that is more than a few megabytes. A typical five-minute FLV file is 25MB. Very few things in the cache are more than 100K except for video files.

Once you find the file, just rename it with an appropriate name but with a .FLV extension.

I've called the cops already. We'll get you yet, terrorist jaywalker.

Oh, give me a break. It wouldn't have been that difficult for the OP to at least mention the implications of downloading files from YouTube. Nor would it be too difficult for you to have the decency to admit that calling people Nazis without the slightest justification isn't exactly conservative, either. Nor is deciding which laws are worth obeying & which aren't, or appointing one's self the judge of what constitutes material useful enough to deserve copyright protections.

If a work's creator encourages its download, that's great. But in some cases they're not even the copyright holders. My take on this is that most people are going to use these programs to download music videos and clips of television programs. I wouldn't download one second of one clip unless I know damn well it's legal. You can do whatever you want, including calling people Nazis if it makes you feel better. Meanwhile, nobody's blocking progress that I can see. But until we have guidelines on what is legal and what isn't, you can still view without running afoul of the law, to my knowledge, even if something was uploaded without authorization, and since it's easy enough to email these things around & bookmark them, I don't see why it's necessary to possess things you don't own if they're available.

If they're yanked because of some political issue, that's a different issue. I've seen plenty of conservative-leaning stuff on YouTube. The NK clip being pulled makes no sense. But a lot of people won't use Google because they lean left, and I've seen posts suggesting that nobody should use Ebay because they donate to Democrats.

I build all my machines with a small C:, and a large D and/or E.

OS goes on C:, mail, documents, pdfs, everything else on D.
I can wipe clean and rebuild a machine in about an hour.

Right now I have 9 working laptops and two desktops within my sight, running anything from Win95 to XP and RH9. Still lloking for a decent Linux distro with a good desktop look/feel.

Funny, cause last night when I first saw this thread, I was gonna put a blurb in about the NETSTAT command (which is how I detected I was hijacked), and then later last night I was watching a video about the kid who broke into the NASA computers, and he basically said the same stuff!

PC's are just a hobby. My real work is on Big Blue big iron.
