I have thousands upon thousands of youtube vids. Anyone have a suggestion for a good duplicate file finder or cleaner? I've tried 2, neither of which found many dupes including ones I had purposely made copies of as "control" samples. So I'm looking for something that works!

Free is always best too haha! Thanks for any help!

Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question, but I have a question for you.

What program do you use to capture the youtube vids?

And like you said, (if possible) free is always best!

Hey Norman,

If you are not using the Firefox web browser already, download and install it here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new

Then you can install an "Add on" to that browser called "Video DownloadHelper" here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper

It is all free and perfectly safe, and there is plenty of information on installation and use on the Mozilla website. Not only does DownloadHelper download Youtube vids, but it can also "Download & Convert" them to several different file formats (I think YouTube uses all .mp4's now like Messmaster is using). Alternatively, you can use WinFF to convert them as well -- also free and perfectly safe: http://winff.org/html_new/downloads.html (wish I had known about this earlier).

Great! Thanks for the info, Smess!
