How to Convert YouTube Video to MPG to Burn on DVD
If you want to make a DVD full of YouTube videos that you can watch on friends' computers, use as a backup, or for any other reason, you'll first need to capture the videos from YouTube into a standard video format such as MPG. You can make this happen using different videos and websites for free on the Internet. This will let you burn the videos to a DVD at a later date, using an application such as Windows Media Player.
