I'm having major problems with Realplayer downloading from Youtube. Sometimes it WORKS but usually not. Seems to make no difference what the download. The download button appears on mouse over, I click on that and everything starts like normal with the bar showing progress but when it's finished the little icon for the video is only a grey square with an arrow in it and not the small picture as when it does work. If you click on the grey icon realplayer opens and the counter starts but there's nothing happening video or sound. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times at the list from 'computer uninstall/change and from C:program/common files/realplayer. I've checked many times in tools and manage add ons to see it's enabled. I tried using Firefox and what a joke that is. Talk about dead ends! Spent a couple HOURS on that. I've had problems with RP downloading from YT in the past and SEEMED to work it out eventually but this time seems WORSE. I've also restored the computer to an earlier date. I tried downloading a totally different video capture program and it was full of nasties. Youtube support is useless as they only say it's a violation of policy but then why have I been able to download things for years but now only once in a while? They could be blocking but I'm not so sure of that. I've tried a couple times to download from other places but I don't remember how well it worked. I'll try again. I use the videos for drums and guitar practice so I can SKIP to any point without the buffering. I can download the sound using other programs but it's not as good as having the video. I've also made sure all defaults are set for Realplayer.
