Hey guys new here and I have question...

Using paid version of RMC and I'm having problems downloading videos from Youtube. I can d/l the videos and play them on FLVPlayer but I can't play them using VLC.

If I download from Yahoo, I can play those videos on both VLC and FLVPlayer.

Am I doing something wrong on Youtube?

some YouTube Video files are encoded with random codecs which confuse some
media players....Fix: Try Replay Converter and, convert the formats anything
you desire and, will play in VLC as well :)

I have found that "GOM Viewer" freeware is a very good player for FLV videos and works with any FLV I have captured using either YouTube Downloader or RMC. I have run into a number of issues with VLC which I was using up until just recently.

That worked like a charm, thanks! An extra step I didn't want to do but oh well.
