Ok, I read the post here on how to DOWNLOAD youtube VIDEOS, but I followed those instructions, and it's not working. For one, I'm not sure what to download the file as. And once I do download it, I need to edit it through my windows movie maker. How would I do this? Thanks for the HELP.

I have a dell studio laptop.What have you TRIED and what didn't work?OKAY so go to youtubesnips.com and past the link of the website. Or go to the video directly on youtube and just add snips between youtube and .com It can download in in 3gp, flv, or mp4. 3gp is usually for mobile devices, but mp4 is the one you are looking for as it is compatible with windows movie makerAlrighty, thanks, so I was able to download it as an mp4, but when I attempted to open the file and edit it in windows movie maker, I couldn't find the file. I dragged it to desktop it make it easy, and it wouldn't come up.

I was pretty sure movie maker supported mp4. If the problem persists convert the file. (links above)
