Firstly sorry if this thing was asked earlier. I want to download some videos from youtube and have them converted to a format which can be played on my DVD player. Can someone help me with the steps and the software that needs to be used. Preferably free wares.

Formats should be ideally AVI or any other supported by my DVD player(Moser Baer)

Thanks,

Use Net video hunter add on in Firefox to download, use Format Factory to convert.

If you are using Mozilla Firefox browser:
install the video download helper add-ons from the below link:
video download helper

If you are using Opera:
Install YouTube Downloader add-ons from the below link:

after downloading convert them (by using Format Factory software) to the format which supported by your DVD player

On Firefox:
Download Flash and Video
*addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-flash-and-video/

I've used my share of streaming video downloaders, and this is what I finally settled on.
Offers a single click download button, and also the choice to choose between video formats directly for HD videos.

And not limited just to YouTube.

After downloading Standard Def videos, use something like FormatFactory, Format Factory - Free media file format converter, to convert.

Guys I had the default converter installed on my PC but not sure what format do I select so that I can play it on my TV. Should DVD Pal version be fine. AVI not sure what are the settings I need to choose?

@zangetsu. A small update. I have a Moserbaer DVD Player with USB support for which I had created this thread but now I borrowed the amkette player from my cousin. But unable to play any of the files that I downloaded from Youtube after converting using the firefox inbuilt converter to avi. The player says unsupported format.

check the codec info of those converted avi files whether they match with supported codec of the player

Download your video using youtube downloader and then using the same software you can convert it into the desired format which your DVD player supports.

On the manual or on the box of Amkette will we have the codecs supported listed?
