How can I download a commercial off the internet to a dvd , or is there another easier way ?

Answer 1

Yeah you can if you find the commercial you want and are able to download it. You will need to convert it probably into a format that can be read by your DVD burning program so it can be burned to the DVD.

It's really simple for example lets say you get a video in flash format, You will need to convert it into the mpeg format(or whatever the dvd program needs so it can be burned).

To find the software needed to do the converting will depend on what type of format the video that you want will be in.

If the video for example is flash(.flv) and the burnning software is MPEG(.mpeg) then you will enter in a searchbox on yahoo or google(the best ones) the words "convert .flv to mpeg" and click enter.

Answer 2

Go to this folder on your PC :

C:\Documents and Settings\??????\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

- ?????? refers to your user name


There you will find most all files accessed by your internet browser. I suggest going to this directory IMMEDIATELY after viewing the commercial. This way it should be close to the top of the list when you sort the directory by "last accessed". View mode must be set to "details".

This file's name may not necessarily reflect its contect, however, look for "media" files & copy them to another directory for examination. From there you can "double-click" each of these files until you find the one you are looking for.

The commercial may in a "flash file". This will make it harder to copy to DVD for viewing on a living room player but conversion programs are out there.
