VLC Help, Onegai...

Didn't know whether this went here or Net-Vid Theater, so I placed it here..

I've been trying to use VLC player to download and encode Youtube vids into an MPG or AVI format. However, I've not had any luck at all in doing so.

I appreciate all the help, Minna-san! ^_^

The problem is that you're trying to make a program do something that it wasn't designed to do. VLC is a media player, nothing more. It's not a program designed to download/encode vids.

Use Google, and you should be able to find programs that are designed to DL the FLVs from YouTube. As for converting them, look up and try a program called SUPER©.

Thanks for the help, JFC-sama.

I feel kinda dumb, now that I think about it ^^;;

No worries. You at least have an answer now, which is more than what you had before. It's always better to ask a question, and risk looking silly, than to not ask one, and pretty much guarantee that you'll end up looking like a right proper idiot.

If you use Firefox, you can download an add-on that allows you to download any video in .flv format, whether it's out YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, or whatever. Then you can just use any video converter to convert it to .mpg or .avi.
