I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

I'm not familiar with MAC computers so I can't be very helpful. The first thing anyone helping you will need to know is where are you hoping to copy the video from ? Video tape , CD . another computer ?

"The links" to the videos are coming to my computer as part of the class. The Videos are actually on Youtube as a private set up where they are not available to the general public. The videos will be available for me to view until the class has finished. I just want to save them either on my computer or burn them to a disk . However, I have never copied a video or captured one the way others here do of the nest activity.
I have already asked the instructor if the videos are available for sale on a DVD and she said no.

On Windows there is button which appears that allows you to download videos. There are also various software download programmes which allow you to capture videos. Here is one for both Macs and PCS. I have used this one successfully.
If anyone still wants to learn how to do posh links they can read how do it here.
Thanks Tiger!! I will try the link you provided to copy the videos. I have a couple more weeks of the class to figure this out :)
Bjane was asking about getting blank posts where there are videos. I think that might be a RAM issue.
On the other hand it may be the lack of Flash Player! :)
Yes, seeing as it is a works computer it could very well be both! :)
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
I have just had a major crash of my PC. The cursor suddenly froze and there was no solution but to pull the plug. On trying to reboot I was offered safe mode and that did the trick. I then booted normally.
However I noticed that I then had to sign into sites like RSPB rather than getting in automatically as I usually do. It really helps if one has a password manager.
Not sure exactly what caused the crash yet.
Was it your browser that froze Tiger? That has happened to me a few times. I have had to use Alt+Delete and bring up the task manager to close it.

I tried <control +alt + del> but that did not work. I must admit I did not try Alt + Del. Not one I usually use!
PTPO never never fails! :)
