[Dixielandjazz] Dumb Question -- Re: Youtube

[Dan Augustine]

Don and others--
     Just a couple of days ago i found some software to capture the 
videos of YouTube (or stills, or a screenshot of whatever's showing 
on your screen).  I had been looking for years for something to do 
this, and there was an article in the August 2007 issue of _Mac Life_ 
magazine (page 77):
              Snapz Pro X 2 ($69): 
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
It (obviously) only works on Macs, but there's gotta be something 
similar that works on PCs.  If you want high-quality images, however, 
the clips take up a lot of space (500-800 MB sometimes).
     In the past couple of days i've copied clips of the Mnozil Brass, 
our own Wurst Band, and other lesser luminaries.  Works great.  I 
don't know if it's legal, and don't care much (i ain't gonna sell 
'em).
