Obama's speeches: is there a way to get them from his site
onto a cd? I've got some wavering acquaintances and I just know if I could record his energy speech and let them play it in their car on the way to work, they'd want to hear other things, too, and would be firm up for Obama.
I am recording the CSPAN rebroadcast at 1030 EST (IF they do it....they change so often their schedules are meaningless.....argh), but I seem to recall trying to then go to a DVD with this and being blocked.

1. Go to his site
at the very bottom right, click on YouTube.
You can download videos from his YouTube account.

4. Usually with YouTube videos,
a little bar appears over the top right-hand corner 'Download".

If it does not appear after moving mouse to that corner, try a different browser.

7. Actually, that's usually a side function of having RealPlayer installed on your computer.
There are other ways to download such videos, including stand-alone programs and any of several Firefox browser plug-ins, but that's what I'm guessing from the sketchy description is what you're seeing in your case.
