Convenience is what a lot of consumers are after these days, which is
part of the reason you see so many DVD collections offered for sale
on FaceBook or eBay, usually at quite low prices.
I would like to watch the first fifteen seasons of "Law And Order"
(original series), mainly for Richard Belzer's continuing portrayal
of Detective John Munch, shifted across to NYC from the
Baltimore-based "Homicide: A Life On The Streets", but at present
they're available only at what I regard as disproportionate prices,
whether for DVD box sets or streaming.
so its not surprising that a number of charity shops have stopped

subtitles, but if I can't, so be it. Tomorrow.
There is currently a mismatch between the current Youtube and the
Windows version of Download helper I have on my desktop. It finds
the video and sets it up to download but then permanently stays at
0%. I left one trial recording for 24 hours and the 0% never changed.
That is why I thought of testing it on my Linux laptop, and I
discovered that the Linux version works OK. I have never bothered to investigate the difference, but I know that Windows records things in Registry and Linux doesn't use a Windows style registry.
I think I have seen the option of having subtitles showing on some
Youtube videos so if you select the subtitled option it should be
part of the Download Helper recording. I have never tested that
though.
If you get an unusual video format, VLC Media Player seems to handle
any format I have thrown at it, and that software also has a convert
format option and I have used that to convert uncommon formats to
MP4. Those MP4 formats seem to play on any other player packages.
I have selected Subtitles in the stream before downloading it, but it
doesn't have the subtitles when saved.

That's better, thanks! Now all I need to do is find a method of
recording it to my PC, after something borked Kazam. On Ubuntu
22.04.
If only I had a valid email address for you, I could suggest just
the (FOC) tool for exactly that.
I sent you my e-mail address.
OK, but nothing yet received at the email address

Davey,
I do receive messages at that address (it is used only for usenet

Just gone right now.

Convenience is what a lot of consumers are after these days, which

I would like to watch the first fifteen seasons of "Law And Order"
(original series), mainly for Richard Belzer's continuing portrayal
of Detective John Munch, shifted across to NYC from the
Baltimore-based "Homicide: A Life On The Streets", but at present
they're available only at what I regard as disproportionate prices,
whether for DVD box sets or streaming.
I used to enjoy "Homicide...." when I was living in the US, I knew
the area of Baltimore where it was based, but I missed the
double-length finale. One day I'll catch it somewhere.
It's available on Sky Atlantic at the moment.
I was watching L&O on 5USA last night and one of the episodes
featured Munch and Falsone, with cameos from Giardello and another
H-ALOTS character. Obviously set sometime between the start of the
final season (when Falsone arrived) and the feature-length final|-.

If you download a YouTube video and watch it off the hard drive (or whatever), the adverts are no longer an issue.

Use an ad-blocker. I have uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill, aka
"gorhill" (watch out - there are others named similar) installed on
MS Edge. I see no ads at all on YT. get it from the MS store or
github.

If I had had uBlock installed when I watched Homicide..., which I

The mp4 (or whatever) file used on the YouTube servers does not have
gaps for ads. The YT system simply pauses the playback and shows an
ad (or ads) instead, reverting to the point where the content gave
way to the advertising when that has finished. If you download the YT
file, it is whole and unmolested.
