Re:
converting YourTube vids
I
recently discovered a method for converting these files:
I
already had a paid for registered copy of Xilisofts 3GP Converter V 2.51; this
inexpensive software converts various video formats to 3GPP, 3GPP2, Avi, DivX
Avi, Mpeg 1,2 & 4 and .wav formats. There are a wide range of custom
parameters – you can alter bitrate for both audio & video, framerate, crop,
target video size, choose from available installed codecs etc. – the results are
great and the process simple.
The
viewed YourTube vid can be found by doing a search for “get_video” on the PC.
Locate and copy this file to a suitable folder. Then import into Xilisoft 3GP
Converter; this file can be read and previewed by the software even without a
file extension. Set the target video parameters and press “Encode”. The progress
bar on the software initially confuses because it seems to jump to 100%
straight-away; leave it, and in a short while it displays a “Completed” message.
I forget all the stuff I learned about the DVD format but there’s bound to be
one target vid format which you can then use in your DVD authoring/burning
software.
Hope
this helps,
Ralph
