No matter you are an online video fan or not, you will never deny interesting videos on YouTube or other video sharing sites. Actually I’m indeed a YouTube fan. And I have tons of nice Flash videos downloaded from YouTube, but the trouble is that there are too many clips taking up my hardware, and sometimes I have to delete some of them, which really hearts my heart. Finally I find a good way to solve this, that is, to sort the clips in group, join them together, convert, and burn them to DVD, so that I can watch them with my DVD player without thinking whether it’ll take up my hardware space.

Tools in need: YouTube FLV Downloader (FREE); FLV Editor Lite Beta (FREE); FLV to Video Converter Pro (Free trial); and DVD Styler (FREE).

Well it seems to be complicated with so many tools, but try it once, you will find it nothing but some clicks.

Now let’s see what the programs help.

YouTube FLV Downloader helps download videos from YouTube, Fox, NBC, ABC, eSnips, blogTV, Dailymotion, Metacafe, etc.

FLV Editor Lite Beta helps edit the downloaded files and merge the files into one.

FLV to Video Converter Pro helps convert the edited FLV to MPEG format for the DVD burner.

DVD Styler helps burn the converted file to your DVD disk for free.
