Downloading online video to computer

[robnyt]

Is there a SUPER-easy, free way to transfer on-line video (say like a YouTube) to my Hard Drive? Would love to burn onto a DVD.

depends on the site and video you try to download, some are easy and some are impossible.

the combination of firefox and downloadhelper can get most videos. others you'll have to work for with things like orbit or paid tools.

YouTube is easy. Just about all the free dowload tools like Orbit, Replay Media Catcher, even web sites (Google youtube download) that specialize in it (enter the YouTube URL and they give you a new URL to use).

Some sites are much harder. Like Hulu.com.

2 more tools, for fire ox, unplug and 'tool info' can get youtube and other embedded content for you

Don't expect a good quality outcome. Places
like YouTube are FAR from archival quality because
they were not designed or meant to be.
