Hi Eleanor, The program free youtube download is specifically designed to work to youtube, but there are other programs in the suite that might do what you ask, I have no experience of them. Regards Aedan. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 14 December 2009 15:24 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: To Eleanor re youtube videos Many thanks for this Aeden. I may contact you off list if I have anything further to ask. Actually here's a question, is this video only for You-Tube or can it be used for any other video from the Internet, e.g. Uplayer which is a player for viewing programmes via computer from Ulster Television? I know you may think I am joutside the geographical area for that but I am not! *smile*, will be of course over christmas and New Year.
