Does this method still work or is there a better or an faster way?

[DerekForPresident]

@16siemon Just use good videomaking practices, and look for AVC or H.264 or MP4 as an export option. That should work fine.

[2FR3SH4COD]

its funny cuz this video is not in HD nor doesn't have the option :p

[DerekForPresident]

@2FR3SH4COD You're right; that's why it says (OUTDATED) in the title. Things have certainly changed on YouTube!

[uday932]

hey derek,  i am using windows XP and i cann't virtualdubmod . Could you please help me!

[DerekForPresident]

@uday932 virtualdubmod can be tricky - you have to download the proper package. Get the one with a whole folder (not just the exe). Unpack them into a folder on your drive. You may need to run AuxSetup.exe first.
