You tube to MP4 format?

hello,

I have come across this fab thing which lets me convert you tube videos to MP4 format. However, sometimes the sound is just not high enough, is it possible to change this?

    Not 100% . But it would only be able to convert from the original source. if the source was poor quality then it can only work with what it is given

    Peter: And this one? Lois: Montana. Peter: Ah... oh, hey Lois did you know Evil Knievel was born in Montana? Family Guy - I Take Thee, Quagmire 04x21

    get firefox if you aint - there is an addon called "easy youtube downloader" which does this sort of stuff.

    additionally some of the youtube videos are available directly on youtube for download in mp4 format (the link is shown on the right hand side - sure you seen it).

    Presumably you are referring to a wonderful piece of Javascript, which you save as a Favourite/Bookmark and run while watching the YouTube video?

    Unfortunately the volume you get downloaded is what was set by the original uploader - there is little consistency about this, unfortunately.
