Problems with downloading videos

Hi there
I've been downloading the videos but there are little problems with three of them.

0133 - St Val's Day massacre downloads without sound
0143 - What the Hell - I get filename CA63C5AZ, HTML Plugin dcoument instead of a quicktime movie and it won't download, only play.
Is he out there (no number yet but likely to be 0144) - I get filename CAM3ST6V, and the same as for 0143

Pretty please can you fix them? (I'm a stickler for "wholeness")
Thanks

Are you trying to download them off of Revver or YouTube? If you're having issues with one try the other.

Hi, and thanks for getting back to me.

I was downloading through Revver on the "Tribute to" site. I downloaded all of the others, no problem. I've tried it on two different computers in case it was something tiny in my settings, and it wasn't. I didn't think you could download anything from youtube - you live and learn!

Ta very much.

You're welcome.

Yeah, you can download off of YouTube. You just can't do it straight from the site. You have to go to a different site and put in the URL of the video you want, and then you can download it (it'll be downloaded as a flash file, though, so make sure you have a flash video player; you can get free ones if you do a search on Google; also, be sure to rename the file to "[whatever title you want].flv" after downloading). Try a site like one of these to download:

youtubex.com
downloadyoutubevideos.com
javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

(That third one is probably the best. It lets you get vids from YT, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, and others.)

I found a site that converts YouTube videos to .avi, and .mov among others. It will also extract the audio only in mpg.

Awesome. Thanks. I'll be making use of this today.
