Hey Miraz –

Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial on that. I was able to download a youtube video that I recently narrated for the Energize Indiana TV campaign.
Now I can add it to my voice-over demo reel. : )

Hi Miraz

Excellent tips and easy to follow thank you! just one question, if there are many lists of the same high number of mb’s which one should I select?

Open Safari’s Activity window (from the Window menu). is badly written.

File >> Open File >> etc. is better.

It’s like a hand drawn map. The only person who understands the map is the person who drew it.

Please redo ands advise.

Thanks.

@BruceHoult pointed out: If you’ve installed Perian (every Mac should have Perian and Flip4Mac) then any QuickTime-aware app can play it, not just VLC.
