Hi i wanted to download a video on-line and burn it on to dvd, the owner of site said to just save the video link to desktop and then convert that file to avi and then use windows media dvd maker to create my dvd.

Now as i am a complete reject when it comes to computers i've hit a problem, on closer inspection the files are PHP and when i try opening with window media play its not working.

also when looking at the size of the file it is only 10.8kb which cannot be right as its over an hour long video. also when downloading to my desktop it only took a second so either i doing something wrong or theres something up with those files,

what am i doing wrong ?
 
sometimes happens in chrome..

I recommend hovering over the link and making sure it shows a direct link to a video file. IE: Ends in .avi/.mp4/.wmv

If it does, right click and save link as.

if not, you can take a look at the source of the page (IE: Page > View Source) and search for video extensions using the find command (CTRL + F) the link should be there.

All depends on whether they give a direct link or not though.. may have to use a flash video downloaded.. like youget or similar to rip it from the stream.
