I would like to copy a video that appears on a web site to a CD, is this possible ?, if it is possible how would I go about doing this. The lady that I would like to see the video is housebound without internet connection. I am still learning about computers so if it is too complex I won't worry about it. Any other ideas?
@Curley54,
Collect and watch your favourite high-quality video downloads on TV by transferring to DVD.

I don't think you can do it directly with one step. You would need to "rip" the video from it's source or be allowed to save the video file to your computer. If you are not allowed to save the video to your hard drive directly then you will need a piece of software to do that. Then once you have it saved to your computer you can then burn it to disk. The only other concern is that the format is something that the user can utilize from the disk.
@Krumple,
Thank you Krumple for your information, I will try to do what you suggested but as I said I am no computer wiz. Will let you know if it works or not.
Best regards Curley54
@Curley54,
Hi. If it is an embedded video, like a YouTube, style video, you can obtain free software that downloads the video for you automatically. It will download it as a flash (flv) file. You would need to get a video convertor and change the file from flv to avi/mpeg file format etc.. After that, simply burn the avi/mpeg file type onto a DVD-R disc or even a CD-R/CD-RW disc.
@ChaunceyMcD,
Thank you so much for your help I will certainly try this.
