Don't know if anyone else has wanted convert YouTube videos to PC/PMP-friendly formats,but...

For those who don't want to risk dealing with malware/spyware,the safest way to find programs to convert .flv videos to standard video formats(.avi,.wmv,or .mp4) is to go to CNet's download.com since they test all kinds of freeware downloads there.So far,WM Converter has worked well for me,though the videos I converted to .avi format(including the second Futari wa Purikyua Splash Star ending sequence featuring Ganbalance de Dance)have necessitated second conversions to be compatible with either of my Zens.Too bad their aren't enough live-action Kappei videos on YouTube(especially ones involving josei_seiyuu)..

I was in the second round of week one of the tax rebate direct deposits,but I'm not gonna be in a hurry to go on a shopping spree anytime soon...

Happy 32nd birthday to Shiho Kawaragi...
