I need to download some videos from youtube and then convert them to avi and then transfer them to dvd how do I do this

is there a program that I can download for downloading and converting videos from you tube (need to be in the format AVI ) and then putting them onto a cd I havant a clue on how to do this as I have just got the apple and its way different from normal computers any help.

Did you look in your downloads folder? If you are using Safari to download then look at Safari - Preferences - General and look in where it says Save downloaded files to. If you have left it to the defaults download folder you will find that under ~/downloads the ~ means your home folder. You can find that in Finder.
I know you are to OS X so you are probably just unlearning some old bad habits. I'd recommend book marking and using:
Mac 101
Switch 101
Find Out How Video tutorials
List of Useful URLs for switchers

  • Can I use imovie to download a video from youtube and then copy it to a dvd?

    I need to download a video from youtube for church on Sunday and wondered if I can do it using the imovie app? If not, does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks!

    just drag 'n drop your jpg and your mp3 into the timeline of your Project - done.
    Depending on what version of iM you're using, you can directly upload from within iMovie, or you have to export first, then use YT's upload web interface ...
    in case you own a licence of Quicktime Pro,  open a jpg with it, open in a 2nd window your mp3, select all, copy, paste to picture - done .. no 'fullsize editor' needed.

  • I want to download 'my' videos from YouTube and Google Video

    i'm on: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6. and I am looking for a WORKABLE way to download my videos from YouTube and Google Video. When I download them straight from YouTube of GoogleVideo the sound is de-synchronized.

    Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

    I need a video for an assigment from youtube, but when i download it, it says that the file is not recognised

    Tips? Help?

    You can try installing the free Flip4Mac
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/iphone/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player
    or alternatively download VLC Player which plays many more formats than Quicktime.

  • How to download Halloween videos from YouTube?

    <By Jenny>
    It is that time of year again, the exciting Halloween! Since activities in these days are wonderful, unforgettable, impressive, crazy, and fantastic, lots of them are recorded in the form of videos and uploaded to YouTube for sharing with all the people worldwide. Do you fall in love with some interesting, meaningful and unique video files about Halloween, and want to download them as your own collections so as to enjoy them in the leisure time? If so, this thread will definitely do you a favor, for it will instruct you how to download Halloween videos from YouTube in detail.
    The software we will use here is Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], which is free for downloading, if you want to convert the downloaded FLV YouTube Halloween videos to other formats, you should use its retail version, if not, there will be watermarks of Pavtube stamped in the output files.
    Okay, now let’s begin.
    1. Download Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], install and run it.
    2. Add URL, select output format
    After launching, press “Add URL” in the main interface of this program, and then the following interface will pop up. Copy and paste URL of the Halloween videos which you want to download from YouTube into the textbox after “URL”. If you only want to use its downloading function totally for free, you should check “Only Download FLV source file”, and uncheck “Keep FLV source file”, on the contrary, if you want to convert it to other format while downloading as well as keeping the FLV source file, you should tick the checkbox of “Keep FLV source file” in advance.
    Imagine you’d like to do downloading and converting work simultaneously, in that case, you should click on the drop-down list of “Convert to” to select an output format, here I choose “iPhone MPEG-4 640X480(*.MP4)” as an example.
    Also, there are two more optional steps, namely, specify output file name and save path. Factually, this program will generate a file name and destination folder by default automatically, if you don’t like using these ones, you can type your preferred file name into the textbox after “Save as” and click on the ellipsis icon at the opposite side of “Save to” to specify a path to store the output files.
    3. Custom
    This program allows users adjusting video and audio parameters like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, etc. You can configure all of these items according to your own requirements. For instance, if you need change the output files to have a smaller size, and do not mind the output quality, you can adjust these parameters into smaller figures.
    4. Click “OK” to start downloading and converting
    Once all the above settings are done, you can now click “OK” button to begin downloading and converting your favorite Halloween videos from YouTube at the same time. Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/] will finish its tasks, even batch tasks at speed, and never let video and audio go in separate ways.
    Well, just 4 simple steps, the downloading and converting work are completed, sincerely hope this guide is helpful for you to download or convert your beloved Halloween video files from YouTube.
    By the way, I know an amused website specially designed for Halloween, it provides people with games and Halloween gifts, from which you can not only gain funs, but also get cute presents, [play this game here|http://www.pavtube.com/halloween/halloween.html], and happy Halloween.

    I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it??

    Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

  • Hello, I have a question. If I download a Easy youtube downloader to my mac computer, do I share content. For example, when I download a video from YouTube, share I it, or no? Thank you.

    Hello, I've got a question. Does Easy Youtube downloader share content? For example, when I download a some video from YouTube, share I it, or no? Thank You.

    You're 'sharing' or uploading to Youtube, not an Adobe server or service.
    "2.7 “Shared Material” means the User Material that you or other Users share through the Services."
    You are using Googles/Youtube's services to upload, not Adobe's.
    Nost Youtube videos can be viewed without Flash using their HTML5  option, or by using a Safari or other browser extension, like http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/

    I have mac pro and firefox 3.0.19
    I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
    I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
    I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
    When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I want to download a video from youtube

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
    Configure conversion ?"
    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

  • I would like to download a video from youtube in firefox. Also, I can't find the Firefox button others are referring to in the top left corner. (Windows XP)

    I found a video on downloading a video from Youtube without downloading additional software. It looks straightforward enough. Problem is, the top bar of my screen does not have the Firefox button that others refer to. Other than that, Firefox has made for a great browsing experience.

    Not really.<br />
    The current Firefox release is Firefox 27.0.
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 27.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    You get the orange Firefox menu button when the Menu bar is hidden.
    *Firefox menu button > Options
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)

  • HT4061 I need to download some data from my phone prior to restoring it to the last backup. When connecting to itunes to download photo's it is suggesting I restore the phone. Is there a workaround?

    Hi,
    I need to download some data from my iphone prior to backing it up. When connecting to itunes it is suggesting I restore it now. I will lose quite an amount of data if I cannot find a workaround. Is there any way to get access to contacts, notes and photo's before I restore the phone?
    Phone details are: model: A1429
    FCC:       ID   BCG-E2599A
    IC            579C-E261DA
    IMEI:      013412004666230
    Cheers

    Thanks for the update. I went through the restore process and all the data I thought I would lose was there. The data must have been copied straight away before the update failed over.
    Cheers

    She must have signed into her own Apple ID on your iPad in order to sync her content from iTunes so try this and see if it works.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. See if your ID is showing in there and if it isn't - tap on her ID, sign out and then sign in with yours.
    You should not be syncing to to different iTunes libraries. The iPad can only sync with one iTunes library without erasing the the content on it if you decide to sync to another iTunes library.
