I owe you the longer answer since I did bring it up in your thread.
When you're watching video on YouTube or somewhere, it streams in either an .flv, an .mp4 or a .webm flash video format. Those are file extensions for the different formats. You can actually download these with a free browser plugin while you're watching them. I like to use the "Ant" brand plugin on my "Mozilla Firefox" browser.
Once I download them I convert them into a Video CD .mpg format which I then burn to a disk to watch them on TV. "Pazera" makes a separate converter for all three of the above formats (flv,mp4 and webm) with a Video CD option for converting them.
Not everybody is used to working with video but once you start playing with it, it can be a fun and economical way to collect video for the keeping.
I appreciate your effort at being helpful but - it ain't gonna work for me.
To put it into perspective, I got a huge sense of satisfaction that I was able to reprogram my U-verse remote to operate my new TV. Even at that, it took me 3 or 4 tries and calls to two different tech support persons.
My next challenge is getting my old (analog) DVD player to talk to my new television.
