    All you really need to do with youtube clips is look in your 'temporary internet files' in whatever browser you're using and you'll find them. They're usually the 10 - 15mb downloads most probably the .flv files or sometimes the .tmp files themselves, just make a note of the time you watched the file and use Windows Explorer to sync the approximate time to the large file. Then 'rename' the file to 'whatever.flv' and you'll have a copy of the downloaded file.

    You can then send your friends a copy of the files, plus a copy of VLC Media Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and they'll be able to play back the content.

    HTH
    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.

    Do you mean that you have the files stored on your hard drive in a format that can only be played using RealPlayer? If so, why not convert them to a more convenient format?
