There are many great youtube videos out there but sometimes you come across a video you really need to have on your hard drive and to watch over and over again, every time you feel the need.
The current video format (.flv) discourage the user to download it because not everyone knows where to download a flv player.
Everybody knows how to download the video but what do we do next?
Easy… you convert it in the most popular formats (avi, mpg and mp3) online for free.
Zamzar is the best free online file conversion.
The best part: it’s easy to use:
- Select files or URL to convert (up to 100MB in size)
- Choose the format to convert to
- Enter your email address to receive converted files
- Convert
This is my favorite video conversion service because it supports videos from YouTube, Google, MySpace, Revver, PutFile, Break.com, Apple Trailers, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm, Grouper, and many others.
If you are using this service a lot (like myself), than you need to make your life easier and use the Zamzar Browser Button.
The Zamzar web browser button is a link you can add to your web browser’s “Bookmarks Toolbar”. You can use it to convert files from all your favourite websites at the click of a button.
Now you can convert Youtube videos free and easy without installing additional software.

Cool… thanks for the tip!
I’ve been looking for a video converter and this one looks good.
I will use that with my new toy…
the View Box Player (http://www.viewboxplayer.com)
-
For those of you who don’t know what view box player is, it lets you watch your dvds and youtube videos while you work online or work with other programs. You never have to move, resize, minimize your video window ever again. The view box player always stays in view.
Cheers!
