Hi CR World! I have stumbled across a great piece of software that should make a community reporters life a little easier when uploading video/audio to the web or downloading video from websites like youtube etc, and the best thing about it is that it is FREE! (We like free :) ) Its called Freemake Video Converter, and is a doddle to use.
See their youtube channel here:http://www.youtube.com/FreemakeTube
Download the software here: http://www.freemake.com/
Enjoy!
