Realplayer and Youtube Videos

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble downloading youtube videos using Realplayer? Been having that problem for about 6 weeks now. It seems like it's downloading but when I go to the file, it won't play in Realplayer. I've tried on a couple different computers. Same problem with WM Recorder. The only way I can download from youtube is by using Windows Media Capture. Only problem with that is you can't turn the video into an MP3 using that software.

Which browser do you use? I think RP conflicts with some, like Firefox. I just use Download Helper on Firefox, which is pretty easy.

I've tried it with both Internet Explorer and Goggle Chrome.

It doesn't work for me anymore with Firefox or Chrome. So it has to be something I really, really, really, really want because I have to resort to using IE. eek

I just make sure I have on several layers of protection and still disinfect throughly after every single time. evillol

My son downloaded the Realplayer Downloader onto his laptop so that he can download videos...and I think it came with trojans or somethimng b/c now he has all sorts of problems with it.

I then went and downloaded AVG (free) virus protection...and it made matters WORSE. AVG is horrible. I am going to uninstall it tonight.

I got the kids off of IE and into using Google Chrome. I can't understand why Internet Explorer is so damn shitty nowadays.

Tried that, too. Doesn't work either.

On the rare occasions that's happened to me it tends to be a Java issue within your broswer, so I just swap to an alternative to download from there - never fails if you have the option.

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Tried it. Went to the site and entered the youtube URl and clicked "Go". After I click the download link, it says, "Thanks for Downloading". Doesn't say where the MP3 has downloaded and, like most programs, doesn't ask what folder/location you would like the MP3 downloaded to. I've searched my hard drive but I can't find the MP3 it claimed to have downloaded. confused

That all sounds to me like the problem sits in front of the PC.

Sorry, don't want to sound rude at all.
