You would specify the link to the video and it was from you tube (for example), it would save the file to your local hard drive. There were options to the file type(mpeg, etc). It was a very handy program for me as a classroom teacher. Now that I've left my pc days behind me, I discover I used that program more than I thought. I'd really like to find something in the Ubuntu world that achieves the same end. My searches led me nowhere. Can anyone make a suggestion? tnx mcm -- Mark C.
