HOW TO DOWN LOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND OTHER STREAMING VIDEOS

HOW TO DOWN LOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND OTHER STREAMING VIDEOS

                  Normally youtube and other streaming video sites (especially pornographic sites) will not allow users to download their videos. (for downloading the site will ask membership login, and for membership we have to pay them ). But using some third party software, we can down load these vidoes, without any membership..

Method 1

For downloading youtube videos, you have to install a third party software called youtube down loader. Just down load the software and install it in to your computer.

for downloading "youtube downloader", copy the URL address down and paste it into your web browsers address bar


http://download.cnet.com/Free-YouTube-Downloader/3001-2071_4-75219434.html?spi=864d246ef8f845dc8af1b21247f097b4

first of all you have to select which video from youtube , you have to download, . then play the video and at the time of playing copy the URL address of the video, and

Open the "youtube downloader" software . in the software , there will be a space foe pasting the URL address of the video ,you want to download. In that place paste the URL address you have copied from youtube, and click on DOWNLOAD button, Now the video will be down loaded to the default location.

Method 2

   If the youtube downloader software is not working, another method is there by using a software called "FREECORDER". you have to down load FREECORDER 5 from internet, and install into your system.
Before installing you have to change the browser you are using into the default browser. otherwise the freecorder toolbar will be installed defaultely into INTERNET EXPLORER. Even then no problem. you can down load videos.
After the installation of FREECORDER 5, just open the browser and play the tube video. while paying the video, a copy of the video will be captured and will be saved inside the software.
for saving the video in our folder , you have to go to

C:\Program Files\Freecorder

and open the FCVideo application file.In that window you can see the saved videos. you can select the video by giving a single click and can save to the default location. from there you can play the video...


(Try to user Freecorder 5 only, other version may not work properly..)

Protecting the Operating System.....

               

               After the installation of an operating system (normally called OS) (windows XP/ Windows 7), we have to do some changes in the setting of the operating system to protect the OS from Virus and Malware (only up to a limit…).

              We all know that the VIRUS is a program and are almost all viruses are autorun . When we are installing a program or open a program or web page, virus are automatically installing to our PC and corrupting our OS and other files.first of all what we have to do is disable the AUTORUN facility of the Windows OS. 

How to disable AUTORUN.......Simple, just follow these steps

If your OS is windows XP, then

Start > Run > (type only the word) "gpedit.msc" > OK

Then a group policy editing page will come.In the left side of that window there will be two sections as "Computer Configuration " and " User Configuration"

First , click on + symbol of the Computer configuration, then its sub groups will come. In that select the administrative templates. Then in the right side of the windows its groups will come.In the right side there will be a folder named Windows. Just double click and open that folder. Then you will get the settings of the windows folder. In that settings,you can see a setting as "Turn off auto play" and it will be as not configured. Just double click on that setting , you will get a setting changing window. In that window change the setting as enabled ( by selecting the dot ). Just below that there will be an option that "turn off auto play on , in that box , select All Drives. Then Apply and OK.

Now auto play function is disabled in your Windows XP  (Now even if you are inserting a CD with Autoplay function, it will not play automatically. So you have to play it manually.)

If your OS is Windows 7 , then

Start > Run > ( Type only the word, no inverted commas) "gpedit.msc" >OK

                   Then a group policy editing page will come.In the left side of that window there will be two sections as "Computer Configuration " and " User Configuration"

First , click on + symbol of the Computer configuration, then its sub groups will come. In that select the administrative templates.
Select "All settings" . in this option , comes down , you can see a setting as Turn off autoplay , double click on it and enable it . In the downside box select All Drives

Start > Run > ( Type only the word, no inverted commas) "gpedit.msc" >OK

                    Then a group policy editing page will come.In the left side of that window there will be two sections as "Computer Configuration " and " User Configuration"
First , click on + symbol of the Computer configuration, then its sub groups will come. In that select the administrative templates.

                     Select "All settings" . in this option , comes down , you can see a setting as Turn off autoplay , double click on it and enable it . In the downside box select All Drives. Then click on APPLY ,and OK

Next to turnoff auto play setting, there is one more setting as Turn off auto play for non volume devices .Double click on the seeting and enable this setting like the previous one.

Now come back from computer configuration and come to User configuration. In user configuration go to administrative templates > all settings. Here also turn off auto play and Turn off Autoplay for non-volume devices.

                               Now you can close the Group policy editor page.

{After registry editing you can install an Antivirus software in your system more safety}
