How to Convert Youtube Videos to Wmv Files
Viewing YouTube videos online is a favorite pass time of many people. However, saving the tube files on desktop or other media player is something that most people fail to do.
This is because you tube files are in FLV format that is not compatible with most video/movie players that people have on their computers. If you want to learn how to convert youtube file into WMV format, then here is a way to do it.
Instructions
- The first thing you need to do is to download the Zune IE Plug-in to your computer by clicking “ZuneIEPlugin.msi”. Click the “Save File” option when the download box appears.
Now restart internet explorer. As it will open, you will notice a new symbol just next to the question mark in the toolbar. This new icon which looks like a 3-D cube is the Zune symbol.- Select and open the video on YouTube that you want to convert to a WMV file. Once the file opens, click the new “Zune” button that appears in the toolbar.
- Now wait for a while until the program opens the YouTube file (which is a FLV file). As soon as the file opens, it will be converted to a WMV file automatically.
- To locate the YouTube video saved as WMV files, go to the “My Videos” folder on your computer. The files are usually saved in the sub-folder titled as “YouTube.”
Tip
Since the YouTube movies are highly compressed, they often do not get saved as high-quality files when converted to WMV.
