Mp3/Mp4 Player Dowloading From YOUTUBE etc
http://applian.com/replay-media-catcher/index.php for YouTube Free Alternatives?
Hello,
I want to be able to download Music Videos and other content off YouTube.com to my Vizion Mp3/Mp4 2GB Player which I purchased from Bid Up TV on Sky Satellite.
Its NOT the most user friendly of Mp3/Mp4 Players the instruction booklet is rubbish the screen is about 1 inch in Size so it will cause considerable eyestrain if you watch it for extended periods of time I am sure NOT to mention the Battery Drain on the unit.
Does anyone know a Decent Mp/Mp4 Player worth investing in or is it best to buy one of those Portable DVD Players ?(what is the Play time approximately of these on Batteries?)
Anyway back to the Software issues of downloading Live Streaming Content to Mp4 Format or amv format do I need to buy the software?
or is there Free software out there?
http://keepvid.com/ is full of pay for software but I could not get the evaluation software to work on my Vizion M3/Mp4 Player
User Friendliness is a Plus with a Portable MP4 Player so I guess I need to ring the online sellers to be honest I have found they know little about the product they sell,what about specialist tech support here?
I subscribe to Which Online £7-75 a month I do not find the articles in there that good time to quit I think and Moneysave:))
Frustrated Heidy:)
Thanks

Not too sure on the hardware point of view, but as for software, downloadeing live streams couldn't be simpler.
First of all, I'd advise that you download (if you haven't already ) Mozilla Firefox (this is free, so don't worry!)
Once you have this set up, go to the "plug ins" option (in tools, I think, I don't have FF installed at work so can't double check for you) then select "find more plug ins".
Once there, you want to download the video plug-in. Once this is installed, there will be an icon displaying in the bottom right corner of your browser window. Whenever there is a video playing you wiah to download, just click on the small icon and follow the step-by-step instructions.
It saves the videos in an odd format, but VLC media player can play them no problem.
