It's Arbitrary. Deal With It.

Here on is how to download ONLY the video file. Extraction of audio or conversion will be shown lower down.

For the purpose of this guide, I will be using a video with the song, "Vanilla Twilight by Owl City".

Go to the page with the Video that you want to download, and COPY the link(the url) Its in the place you type the urls to go to web pages. This applies to ALL browsers universally. If you can't figure out this part, oh dear. you are missing the second thing required. x)

WARNING: The link(before copying) should look like this: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIz2K3ArrWk", And not like this: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIz2K3ArrWk&feature=channel"

Delete anything that looks like: &feature=channel It will get in the way of downloading the file.

Go to the program. The link should appear instantly appear in the first big white box(in the program), as it automatically pastes the link in the box(by accesing your clipboard) *If not, click on the box area and press the key combination "ctrl+v"

~Now, click on this box:

~A box entitled "browse for folder" asking you where to save the file after download will appear. Click "desktop"(or what you like, but I recommend the desktop as its the easiest to get to and you can move the file anywhere you want after downloading anyway)

~click

when done selecting the default folder

~The "Download options" need not be adjusted, as it adjusts itself to download the file in the highest quality. Don't change this as it will affect the audio quality.. (Eh I think at least? jon.. edit this part as necessary.) Don't bother checking the option that says: "show video file url"

Ok. we are finally going to download the file.. "YAY.."*applause*lotsa sarcasm implied hahaha

Click

(in the main program box)

A "save as" box will appear:

You can change the file name, but don't change the file format. DON'T. it would give you 1 headache.(easy to fix headache but just don't)

Click "save"

File will start downloading(looks like this)

The file is now saved on your desktop:

~It is stored as format ".mp4", which is the format apple uses. Quicktime will be able to play this. Google it if you cannot open the file. Because I am too lazy to copy the download link.. Need to view the source code and copy directly from there and I am rushing to get this out..

Extracting audio
(getting the song track out)

click on the option: "Convert Video(previously downloaded) from file
(you do see what i mean right???)
click on thebutton and click on the file you want to convert, which in this case, for me, is the vanilla twilight file.
~It should now look something like this
~The button:simply plays the movie.
Ok now to extract the audio, or to convert the video file.
Click on this bar:
A list will appear:
Click on the one that says: "MPEG Audio Layer 3(MP3)"(for the purposes of this tutorial, you can convert to whatever else you like. Its self explainatory)
Click:.
This box appears.
Move the quality selection bar to max(highly recommended) and volume to max(this is optional).
Should look like this:
Click:.
The file will start converting and will be saved at the same location as the original file.(patience)
~Looks like this:
After 14 secs±. VIOLA. Your song.
~Comparison of the original file and the end result:
~You can convert it to other file formats that are in the dropdown list.
~About the manual conversion. Ehh.. Don't try lah.. Unless you are good at typing parameters. I have not tried before :) Go ahead and try if you would like. :)

The end.. sigh.. That took me 1 hr lol.

I HAVE DELETED THE SONG AND VIDEO TRACK.

The guide should be very very clear. questions, facebook. not the c-box. tyvm :)

Okay. I am going now.. bye x)
