I'm wanting to download and burn to a dvd

[madokie]

this youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IaHxPi9dM7o
What would be a good program to use? My operating system is ubuntu 10.04.4
I'd like to be able to play this dvd on our home entertainment system.

1. Install an addon to Firefox for downloading Youtube video's. Use Brasero to burn the DVD.

Also if you are going to play it on a PS3 then put the video in a directory or the PS3 won't find it.

2. Thanks

Which one of the add-ons would be the best?

[L0oniX]

3. Flash and Video Download 1.36. There may be others just as good. n/t

[madokie]

5. Thanks again

I have it downloading now.
How will I know when its finished downloading

[L0oniX]

9. window will popup saying download complete

[madokie]

10. cool

Pretty full proof then.

[L0oniX]

11. You really should upgrade to 12.04 LTS. n/t

[madokie]

12. I really like gnome2

I'm thinking I'm going to switch to SolusOS 2 when its released. From what I understand it will be using gnome2

[pokerfan]

13. Last month I switched from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

to Linux Mint 13 (LTS) with the Mate desktop environment which is based on GNOME 2. So, if you liked Gnome 2—as I did—then Mint is also an option.

4. I have same system as you.

Firefox browser.
I use Download helper, a firefox add on, for downloading you tube videos. They have mp4 format.
Sounds as if you also asking for a program to change the downloaded mp4 format to whatever format your dvd/tv hookup will play.
That I don't know about, but do know it is possible.

[madokie]

6. Thanks

all I know is I want to burn this to a dvd so I can watch it later. I don't know enough about the different formats to worry with that

[pokerfan]

7. Brasero will burn to a DVD

but it won't necessarily be a DVD, playable on all DVD players. When I need to burn a video to true DVD, I use DeVeDe, which is in the repositories. I have it set up to first make an ISO file and then I write that to a blank DVD. Works every time.

[madokie]

8. Right now I'm downloading the utube video

I installed DeVeDe and as soon as this file finished downloading I'll be trying to burn it. I may need some help when I get there

Thanks

14. Did it work?

[madokie]

15. Making toasters

I've tried using xfburn, K3B, Brasero and Iso where it was an option. I've used DVD- as well as DVD+.
I used DEVEDE to make the ISO file
My home player is a Sony. I've copied DVDs and they play ok in our home system.

I'm wondering if I should boot up on a ubuntu 12.04 live cd and try burning with it.
Even mint 13/mate.
I'd switch to mint 13 with mate if not for the awful green colors. Green is my favorite color but not the green that mint uses and I've not been able to change that part of mint.

16. Once I have created the ISO file

I then bring up the File Manager (Nautilus), navigate to where the ISO is located, right click and select "Write to Disc." I always wind up with a disc that will work in any DVD player.

[madokie]

17. Still no workie

Cannot play the dvd player says.
I haven't given up yet though.
This evening I'll try again with another disk. I've made about a dozen coasters so far so no need in quiting just yet. I'll try a dvd- this next time

Thanks for the help, greatly appreciated.

I can copy a dvd from a dvd and it works in my player just fine so I'm sure when I get the right combination it'll work.

[pokerfan]

18. OK, another thing I do

especially when I have a bunch of videos is to use WinFF (also in the repos) to convert them to mpeg (which is basically what DVD's are). Then I write them to the optical disc. I don't get the fancy title menus like I get with DeVeDe but they play in most everything.

[madokie]

19. I installed WinFF

and I'm trying to figure out what to do now

[pokerfan]

20. OK

When I bring up WinFF, I'm presented with a menu that includes a button titled "Add." I click on that and then select what files I wish to convert and then select convert to DVD plus whatever preset (NTSC, widescreen, etc.) and an output folder. Then I wind up with an mpeg file that can be burned to disc and should run on any player.

[madokie]

21. I give up for now

I've made close to 20 toasters so far.
I don't think it is intended for me to do this
at any rate thanks for the help.
I'll try a new download tonight and give it another try tomorrow evening.

22. DVD Creator

Not sure if this is what you're looking. I use videodownloadhelper plugin on Firefox, most of YouTube Videos can be download. After it is downloaded I use AppGeeker DVD Creator to burn a DVD.

23. thank you, I'll try that this evening.

[dcforever]

25. how about this

I think this might help, I use to burn some movie clips to dvd :http://www.dvdflick.net/
And many software can download video from YouTube, like, well, you may try this site too:http://www.clipconverter.cc/

[madokie]

28. Thx

Just now seen your reply. I'll give this a go soon.

Peace

Welcome to DU dcforever. Hope you like it here. We like good people so you should fit right in.

26. keep in mind youtube may have multiple versions

In this case the video looks like NTSC videotape... so I assume the resolution will be no better than 480p. But other videos might be as high as 1080p.

The program I use for downloading videos from YT is call aTube Catcher... and it will show you all the options for the files of different quality... and it can reencode from one format to another... though I've never used it. I'm happy with the original mp4s... and they can play one the PC... obviously, but also on some smart TVs and Bluray players... right from a USB stick. So there's no need to burn to DVD. And remember... if you're burning to a standard DVD format... to play on regular DVD players... the top resolution you'll get it 480... even if the file was originally 720 or 1080p.

Lots of stats... but I'll walk you though them if you want.
