I will make it available to download from another site tomorrow (28th Aug). It is a bit "messy" to download any video from YouTube due to Copyright problems, but it can be done and I will post details on that tomorrow as well.

I hope this works.

I have uploaded the Song/Slide show to www.snapdrive.net.

Login = tuckwell
password = tuckwell

The file is called Arillas3.wmv and is just over 12Mb so it will take a few minutes to download. You can just click on the file and it will download and play, or you can right click and save it to your hard drive. The file is best if played on Windows media player.

You should see some other files, which you are welcome to download.

Maybe we should set up a new account called Arillas where we can all share large files such as videos, slideshows etc. I use snapdrive because it does allow large files to be uploaded.

I will post some details of how to copy YouTube videos later on.

Hi JohnB

Where do you get to? ie

Can you log into www.snapdrive.net?

Can you see the video Arillas3.wmv?

Have you downloaded it?

If you have downloaded it where did you save it to?

If you do download it all you have to do is a straight forward file copy to a CD.

If you can give me an answer to the above, I may be able to help more

There are two ways to burn to a CD.

First right click on Start ( bottom LH corner)

Go to Explore (windows explorer)

Go to the My Documents folder and find the downloaded file.

Right Click on it.

A second menu will be displayed ..... now choose "Send To"

Another menu will appear and you should be able to see "Cd drive" or similar.

Choose this option

You will then be prompted on the toolbar to write the file to CD.

Click on the message and you will be taken to a screen that will enable you to burn the CD.

Another option is to use a program like Nero.
