    I would like some recommendations on downloading Youtube and other videos to my pc so that I could burn them to a dvd, just play them on the pc, load them onto a portable device etc. Is there a way to do it so that I could also create a playlist and have them play one after another? Any help will be appreciated. I have never tried this before, so forgive my ignorance. Thanks.

    Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this question.

    Both Chrome and Firefox have many extensions for this. Just search the extension page for youtube download and you will find them.

    Burning to DVD or mobile device will be tricky. You will need to convert to a video format that you can play.
