    Is there a place to download FREE....
    « on: September 05, 2009, 10:07:10 AM »
    TV shows, cartoons and movies on the internet? 

    I purchased a netbook not long ago and it has no disk drive. Would love to pop it open and be able to play cartoons for my 5 year old while we are in the car.

    I am not techno-savey so if there are free sites, please let me know how to download them.

    Thanks!!  :-*

        No, silly Patio.  ;)  I had wanted to know about watching tv on the pc. Now I am interested in downloading the free ones to watch at a later time.

        Sites such as hulu.com, for instance... Is there a way to download them onto a laptop to watch later when internet access/connection is not good. ???

          You don't need to download a program to download and convert youtube videos. A google search can get a youtube video.

            hello again here's another way to download youtube videos to your computer this is a very easy way to do it
            download real player go to youtube look at any video you want to download and click on the realplayer dowload link right above it

            youtube now has movies tv shows and cartoons go to youtube make sure you only go to youtube home page then videos then animation and cartoons here you should be able to download some cartoons

            and real player  also works with other sights than youtube  it will work with hulu veoh  tvshack abc cbs nbc fox joost and many others

            if there isn't a real player download link above the youtube vidieo you can also left click on any video and download it to your real player

            other sights might not have the real player download logo above the video so you will have to left click

            what do you mean you can download a youtube video in google search i'm not saying you can't but i didn't see any download link please describe in more detail how do this   


            http://www.kidswb.com/video/#/The%20New%20Scooby-Doo%20Mysteries   here is were you can get episodes of scooby doo and looney tunes

            nick jr has some videos as well

              If I have asked a similar question in the past, I am sorry but it means that I did not fully learn what you guys explained. In other words, I stil can't do something that you may have tried to guide me thru. (I am sorry for any similar questions)  I am a single mom and self teach myself from you guys. I know little about pc's. Thanks for your help in advance.

              I found this site and downloaded it. http://www.filebuzz.com/fileinfo/55425/Hulu_Video_Downloader.html

              As you can see from my screenshot, the box popped up for the Hulu Downloader but I can not get the Scooby episode to download in it. ???  Which place am I suppose to choose from the drop down menu in the "SAVE AS" menu? Do I even have those locations?

               When I click the ADD button, I get an error that reads  "NO VIDEO TO DOWNLOAD OR LINK ALREADY IN LIST".  Huh??

              Here we go again, again.

              http://tinyurl.com/legal-video-downloads

              Notice the link to the Motion pix industry

              And today this search gives a link to a USA today article.
              Please read some of these before you post a wild and extreme view on this topic.

              And  just maybe this will be the last time we run this through the wringer.

                 I thought when I found FREEWARE it was free and ok to use.

                Again, I am just a mom who is learning here. Thought with all of the free tv viewing sites, it was ok to watch them at a later time. (Like I do on my home tv with my DVR)

                Not looking to create waves.  Thanks.

                The OP did say free, but that's just not legal so that USA today page was the next best thing.
