    I use the video downloader with Firefox, and play the files with the free FLV Player (Google for it). You have to rename the videos as .flv files when you save them.
    Works a treat for me.
  • There's a comment on this page that the program collects information on what you are watching. I don't like that sound of that at all. Does anyone know if it's true?

    Do you think YouTube WON'T collect information on the clips you watch there?

    Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.
  • I've looked on my temporary internet files and can see some FLV files. How do I convert them?

    I did get a copy of Ashampoo burning studio 2007 on this months PCW magazine. I don't suppose that will do it will it?

    You dont need to convert them; download VLC Media Player and set it as the default player for .flv files.

    That's all this extension does, it could record your IP address and browser information, which is the same as any website in the world. No information from your computer is sent
