    It worked like a charm. Thanks! What do you recommend as the best format to convert a You Tube file into to view on computer?

    MP3 is the most common. Have a read through the Freemake opening page to see what you want to do with the video. Do you want to use it on other devices? Neil.

    I used wmv because I thought most people would be able to play that but I hadn't considered MP3. I just wanted to download it to my PC so I could keep it and also share using Google drive. I understand from the GUI that you can also convert for devices such as android etc.

    MP3 is a sound only file AVI would be a better choice if the clip has video you also want to view this can also be done with Freemake Video convertor.

    It is a video with sound. Can most video players play AVI?

    Hi Alicia, sorry you haven't got an answer but I think it has to do with the Codecs installed in the comp. If it doesn't display - just Download the latest Klite Codecs pack (http://filehippo.com/) and install in your comp. Neil.
