I'm trying to figure out how to download video's from You Tube using the video downloader in Mozilla.Is there someone who has done this that can run through it with me?

Lonnie, I've tried different video downloaders and some require you to also download an flv player to play the flv format but Vdownloader works much better and requires no other programs. You simply choose the mpeg or avi format which ever you prefer to use from the preferences and then windows media player will play them once they are downloaded and saved. Go here to download the Vdownloader.

The only problem I am seeing with it is that I can't download 99% of the videos on YouTube. A popup keeps saying Cannot download,Video Not Available/Bad Address.Do you also get that message?

Lonnie, are you on dial-up connection? If so, that might be the problem. It could also be that you're not getting all of the "url" address when you copy it. I haven't had any problems downloading them and I'm on dsl hookup. Good luck, Ray
