Okay, for the tech people, the Valentino Conference videos are here and set for Windows Media Player.

Is there a way I can save the darned videos and burn them on a DVD? I can do the burn, I'm an idiot and can't figure out how to save them. :confused:

I think you need some sort of converter to change the file format to something a DVD player can read. There's lots out there. I've used Roxio's version before. There's a bit of playing around with settings as well depending on what country it will be viewed in, wide screen or regular, etc.

There's demo's out there as well - most (all?) will put a watermark on the video though until you purchase the full version.

The links on that page are all streaming links, which means you can't save them directly. And they seem to have them fairly well protected as the method I usually use to grab them isn't working. There are some other options, if I have a moment, I'll try some of them.

If you can't get anything else to work, I have screen grab software that records video, so I could record them that way and make you a dvd.

Awesome! I'll let you know if I can get anything to work. So far, no luck!
