Since YouTube hit it big, streaming movies and music have gone positively bananas. But such online media has a major flaw: You can't download it to your desktop and save it forever. However, here's how you can download streamed-media offerings of various types.
Record flash-based video (like YouTube and Google Video files) with KeepVid.com (http://keepvid.com/). Just enter the video's URL, and KeepVid converts it into an FLV file you can download. To play the file, use software such as VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/). Better yet, convert the video to an .avi, .mov, or .mp4 file by visiting the FLV Online Converter (http://vixy.net/). These sites and programs are free.

Add some more RAM. Get a better Video card with more on board memory. Also, if you doenload the videos first then play off your machine it should be faster. Hope this helps.

To make all the above, which are all correct, easy. Get Advanced Windows Care.
That'll do it all for you. Good programme. The free trail is usually enough.
