u-tube links

[francescasmum]

Can anyone tell me how you get a link off u tube? I know how to get the encripting code but they are really long and I've seen a few links on this forum that are very short. I'm a bit of a technophobe so the simpler the better.

Go to youtube and click on the video you want to play to us. Once it is playing, copy and paste the url at the top of the screen. That's your link.
(The url is the code that appears at the top of your screen - at the moment it reads http://wwwnotapushymum.com/phpbbposting.....etc) You will see it change as you select different videos on youtube.

Can't resist doing you an example now, since I had to do it myself to talk you through it!!

Dont suppose anyone knows how to download a video off youtube onto 'my videos' on my hard drive! Its driving me nuts. I can copy & paste the link onto things but need to actually download it?? Any help would be massively appreciated.xx

[francescasmum]

Thanks alot, is the link to your dd, she has a lovely voice? Now I can paste a link on the 'look out for' of my DD lates short film. for some reason they put in on in two part.

[igloobabe]

Yay, glad to be of help. Yes that's my girl.

Janine, I'm not all that sure you can do what you're describing, I know you can download music off youtube with some software which my dh could tell me the name of! But I'm not sure about film.

Thanks igloobabe, Ive come to that conclusion too!! Will have to beg for them to send me a disc..
Another stunning song from that super talented daughter of yours. Hope this year is a great one for her!!

[igloobabe]

I hope so!

Just watching Francsecasmum's videos now, taking ages to load so just popped back on here.

Wow, that was a shock! Great twist at the end! You must be so proud of her, she is a natural! Had to laugh at the actor's feeble attempt to brush her hair! Reminds me of my dh....

I no it can be done as the man who did ds showreel said he could do it but it is best to have origional as it would not be good enough qualty to go on showreel. He has very expencive equpment. If u post on some site where there are a lot of people who have a lot of knowledge about that sort of thing they might be able to tell u how to do it

[janine]

Thanks Irishdancer. I will have a good look around & see what sites I can find. Definatley giving up myself though!!!

[igloobabe]

I really wanted to do that when my little dd and i were in BBC 2's How To Grow Your Own Drugs in 2009, I've since lost the video tape I made of it, so can't use it for showreel.

Yes, you can download and save videos from you tube to your computer. In order to do this you need Real Player installed on your computer. Then you get the weblink to the video from youtube (from the address bar on the internet), put it into the address bar in real player and when it starts playing, it has a little title in the right top corner saying Download this video, click on it and it saves it on you comp, you can also change the resolution, say where it says 360p, you can click on it and change it to HD to 720p. Hope it helps.

Tikto!!!!! How very very clever you are!!! You really really are a SUPER SUPERSTAR!!! Especially now I know who you are!!

[Dogcop]

You do not need to download real player. Beware if you have itunes - real player can affect your settings and change your registry settings for playing audio files

KEEPVID IS YOUR FIREND

This is so easy. Select the video on youtube you wish to download. Highlight the the URL and copy (ie.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIbHPs_M55Q)

Go to keepvid site and paste in the dialogue box and press the download button. It will then ask you where you want to save the file as per any other file

HTH

[janine]
