Anyway Charlene seems to be quite the lady in distress this time
To be honest I have absolutely no idea what her problem is because if she is referring to the link I gave to easy video downloader
I never ever got audio only,however I have given up using this program too because it fails now to do the job properly and only downloads a tiny incorrect (say 64 KB) file that is no use to anybody.
If I am lucky and even this is not 100% reliable I just let the complete video download whilst suffering the annoying dial up induced one second bursts then when I see the "replay" notice

OK in concise/point way ( and I think this will also work for those with a high speed connection , if not please let me know pronto

1. simply head on over to (with Internet Exploder) the Tools Menu
2. Click Internet Options
3. half way down click on "settings" in the "browsing history" section
4. Then on the next popup screen select "view files"
5. Up pops my computer's main temporary internet files folder ***(see note below)
6. Scroll to the bottom where the latest and largest file will be named something like get_video (note it will have no file extension)
7. Copy that file and paste it into a holding folder on the desktop or wherever yuo will remember what you did with it
   [*}Right click on the copied file
8. Rename it initially to get_video.flv
9. As I do have (reluctantly) a flash video player installed
10. I then click on the renamed file and it will play in the err umm player
11. Once I have confirmed that it is the video I was watching (albeit in spurts)
12. I rename it suitably example V8_restless.flv
13. I then use

1. SUPER © Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer
2. to convert it from the flv format to IMHO something infinitly more useful (albeit much larger in file size) such as MPEG-1 or MPEG-2

*** on mine it is at:-
C:\Documents and Settings\01-Master\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
(because 01-master is my main "user" and desktop,
but that is another story and tutorial)
Basically CHar you should know by now in your life that if something doesn't work try again!!!
