Do you read Japanese, anne_r? GetASFStream is not at all easy to understand how to use.

No, I don't read Japanese and there is no English help. The basic usage is not difficult:

Paste the URL of the audio / video file in File - URL Paste - Add and click the red dot. The download starts.

One only learns to use this program by going through the menu and trying everything. Googling might help, too. Or Bablefish translation of the GetASF homepage.

The program itself is in English. In case someone wonders.

Willtech Online:
what software(free), firefox extension, or web browser would you recommend for those technology challenged people?  Something that can be done in as few clicks as possible.  I have a client that is wanting to be able to download and show offline you tube videos.

any recommendations??

I know real player can do it but I am not a big fan of it.

thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Simple - find a video you like e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2HARCiCWO0&fmt=18 and then add kiss in front of youtube - http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=P2HARCiCWO0&fmt=18 and save.

Requires Java enabled browser.

Cheers :)

Around here we all use DownloadHelper plugin for Firefox. It gets updated frequently, works with a LOT of download sites, and is so easy to use that even non-technical people can use it. Of course, it does appear to be limited to .flv files.

We found the kiss you tube was the easiest method for her.  I tried about 10 methods both online and software download before deciding on the kiss method.

thanks to all!

Try also Movie Saver, it has a very simple interface. It is free after registering by e-mail (in two steps, check your spam folder each time).
