Real Downloader

10 years ago

Regrettably I know too little about computers to be able to post answers or advice here-- I have only questions.
Apparently Real Downloader no longer works. It was useful to capture some YouTube and other videos.
Is there another safe and effective program that will do it?

I use a Firefox extension called"Download YouTube Videos as MP4" to download an occasional Youtube and it works fine for me.

I don't download from anywhere else though.

Well if you had success with Malwarebytes perhaps it is not necessary to run Superantispyware. If you would care to try then as you start the computer keep tapping the F8 button and a screen will appear with start up options. Select safe mode, everything will look totally different to the normal startup because only essential drivers have been allowed to start. My concern was the fact you mentioned AVG was not running properly. That is a good indicator of trouble. On reading the initial post a second time it appears you overcame that issue

Thanks bob, I tried the search function and I still cant find that silly MP3. Actually I think it doesnt exist as an MP3 - its some streaming thing because the only place I see it is in Windows Media Player and under properties, it says its in my "download" folder but then it also says "ip (and a long number)ip.secureserver.net." Which suggests Im plugged into some streaming thing, no? I went back to Youtube and tried to download it as an MP3 again and got "error" -can't do it! So OK I cant have it, which is fine but what's with the games? Just tell me it's not available and I wont waste my time trying. (BTW, its some obscure 45 year old song I have on vinyl - guess I'll have to get to work converting that instead. Oh well! Thought Id save some time....)

I always go to the software company's site first before using a download site. Try the link below, it isn't likely they'll send "stuff" to annoy their users. Steve Here is a link that might be useful: Realplayer.com

Haven't you found that almost every free Audio book download site is covered with spam? Well I found the solution through a Itunes competitor offering free music downloads, Emusic. Here is a link that might be useful: Audio books

I located that video on pbs.org too. So I searched "dowload pbs video", finding threads like this, but nothing really hopeful. Seems you're not alone.

If you find a solution, post it please. :)

I couldn't get it to work in a "virtual" machine. I keep getting memory access violations. Maybe it would be fine in a real machine but... I'm too lazy... and/or cautious to try.

But if I were to try, I'd probably grab the "last free adware-free" version from here: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/StreamTransport Perhaps I'm just over-cautious though.

Real Downloader works fine for me. Maybe something got changed on your pc like a firewall or browser update.
