    I have a bunch of different sites saved for videos. Stuff from Youtube, StreetFire, etc. How can I take all those videos from various websites and burn them onto one DVD? I wanted to make a Best of the Ferrari 355 DVD for my own personal use using a bunch of various vids from different websites...

    PC or Mac platform? [I can help with Mac stuff, PC's not so much.]

    What do you want to do with the DVD? - Load it into your 'puter for viewing there or into a DVD player for TV playback?

    The former is easy. But, with youtube quality source material, you're not going to get close to "DVD quality". I've never tried, but suspect it would be unwatchable on a TV......

    My 02c, cheers,

    I know some of the clips will be grainy and stuff for TV viewing, but that is what I'm looking to do--Play on TV--I have a PC...

    I click the link to the Video Downloader and it brings up a page that says Install Now--I click that and it goes to another page that talks about it, but no download button....

    Webvideos on a TV will SUCK! The are WAY to small from a data file perspective. Even a 2megapixel photo will look like CRAP on a decent size TV screen. I don't think web video's (ie. YouTube) are even close to that size per frame and normally the frame rate is a little low too... Now, if it is an HD level web video or even a full 480i file size video then you might be able to watch that on a TV, but mostly stuff on the web would take up WAY to much space and there would be very few who could benefit from a big screen file size experience.

    YMMV...
