Thread: computer question

Do you know the file extensions of the videos? You could try searching on download.com for a free player dependent on the video file type. I had downloaded a free program a while back on another computer that let me download Youtube videos. I don't recall the program name though.

Below is a link to the most popular downloader.

Often times the web pages (those with .HTML or .ASP extension) just contain links embedded in them that will take you to the video. Some times you can right click on the links in other pages and a popup menu will appear that will allow you Save the media file itself those might have extensions like .WMV (Windows Media File) or .MOV (Apple Quick Time Movie) and as FJRGerry suggested based on those extensions you will need a player that is capable of actually playing that particular type of media. The Windows Media Player that comes with Windows can play a large variety of those file types but it can't play all of them so as they suggested you would need to do a Google search for that type of file extension and it should come back with information that will help you locate a player.
