Beginner Help- I'm so confused!

[Paigiemack21]

I just downloaded this and I can't figure anything out! I have gone into Youtube and clicked the download button and it goes to a separate screen but it doesn't do anything. From there if I press the back button twice it says that my video is being downloaded and i need to go into status or progress or whatever to check it. But when I do it says that the 404 is not found. Has anyone else had this problem and found what you need to do?:confused:confused
One more thing I don't get is how to convert DVDs I haven't even found anything on here that gives me the option to do that! I just need help explaining all the basics to me so that I can take it from there!
THANKS!!:D

Hey,
Read the sticky posts - they have a lot of good info on them, and they also say that YouTube stuff doesn't work anymore.

In order to convert a DVD, you need to decode it first. I use DVD shrink, but RipIt4Me works too, or DVD Decoder (use google to find them). Then, navigate to the .vob file and convert it. (depending on the decoder you use, you need to make sure the .vob file isn't getting broken down into 1 gig files, or else you'll have to decode in segments. DVD Shrink has the option to keep the files together). Disclaimer - watch yourself and make sure you're not violating any copyright laws.
