Play the video in media player, click file to see if save / save as are options, if not, it is usually down to copyright and you will only be able to use media player to watch it

If save is an option, create a folder in my documents, click save and save it to the folder you created, when it has downloaded, right click the file, click properties and it will say what type of file it is

I right click on the file and i got the option to remove from list, play,Move Up Move Down And to Open Containing Folder. When i opened up the containing folder i was given the option to Rename this file, Move This File, Copy,This File or Email This File


Not sure what that means in the grand scheme of things

You have Nero

Click start smart to get this



Click make dvd video



Click the magnifying glass then click browse



Choose the file, then click the + to add it to the time line, click export, name the file, click export

The file will be saved to Nero Vision, exported video

Open start smart, click make dvd video, click add video files, add the file from Nero exported video, click next etc and it will burn to disc

You will need to use a DVDR disc usually, because of the file size, if it isn't too big, make sure multi session is selected so you can add other video the same way
