Hi! Ed,

On Mon, 02 Sep 13, you wrote to me:

Most, if not all, from YouTube come down in MP4 format.  There may be an
option to change that in DownloadHelper but I ain't gonna go looking for
it.  MP4 is the best format for viewing flicks over our LAN.  There's only
one MP4 movie in my collection that needs to be on a local USB drive for
either of the TVs, and that's because it's DVD quality.  I've also got a
few in AVI & FLV format that need to be on the USB as well, since they
just don't stream properly after about 15 minutes' running time.

Oh, okay.  Yes, we use FF everywhere here but I'm not interested in any
more Add On apps; too many already.  :)  I had a poke around on my BBS
machine yesterday and found FF installed on it.  Version 2.-something I
think it is, because that vBox used to be my own hardware-based Win98 PC
before I switched to Linux stuff (2004?).  (I still have the PC and USR
v.everything modem sitting under a dust cover, under the house.  It's
waiting to be pulled out and fired-up again, if ever.)

 EV> ... Have you checked your smoke detector batteries, LATELY?!

Yep.  Thanks for that.  I don't need so many by using VirtualBox-ed PCs
these days.  ;)

Cheers,
Paul.
