In addition to many mentioned, I have a "fascination" with "Hurry Sundown".

Am I the only person here who hasn't seen one minute of DOWNTON ABBEY?

Now that you've all picked yourselves up off the floor, I'll continue...

I'm finally interested. Not in spending money on it, just in seeing it. It looks like it's on Amazon Instant Video, and I have Prime now. What I'll need to know is if it's all there. Though I'm generally not interested in streaming, this would seem to be the perfect opportunity to just do it and enjoy.

DR ChasSmith, here's the episode guide for season 1:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606375/episodes?season=1

Thank you, DR Elmore. I'll make sure I've got them all accounted for before jumping in. And it will be a few days -- probably Sunday -- before I'll have the time to start.

I am also among the Downtown Abbey non-watchers. But, I feel that I am missing something quite entertaining, so I really need to check into it....

......just as soon as I am finished with season 2 of Mr. Ed and final season of Dennis the Menace.

I find your insistence on keeping your natural ignorance intact so refreshing!

I just discovered that the complete BBC broadcast of Joe Orton's wonderful comedy What the Butler Saw, starring Prunella Scales, is on youtube! I've hoped for several years that the BBC would release it on commercial DVD.

Now, how do I download from Youtube?

I haven't watched this week's DOWNTON ABBEY yet, so every time I see "DOWN" in anyone's post, I zoom past.

Wise decision and don't read the news.
I had read a profile of a member of the cast about four months ago that had me primed for what the secret was. But in the past week, I've seen too many Facebook postings revealing information and too many headlines from news agencies such as USA Today and Huffington Post that also gave away too much.

If we could get the series here at the same time as in the UK this wouldn't have happened.

Yes. It's in six parts, and very rude and very funny. "Let us put on our clothes and face the world."

DR ELMORE if you have Real Player when you place your mouse over the video on YouTube - it should give you an option to Download the video.

I do that.....then use Format Factory to convert it to AVI and then burn a DVD.....

Of course not on any COPYRIGHTED materail.

What I have to do is download the parts as .mp4 files, convert them to .mpg files, burn those to a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, play that on a DVD player hooked to my DVD burner and that records them onto a DVD. Of course, the original files are low quality, and so is the final DVD, but it can be done.

Format Factor. I will have to remember that. I have tried to download old obscure Indian films but once I have done that I couldn't figure out how to convert them to something that could burn onto a dvd.

Netflix streaming has Season 1 and I'm assuming soon, Season 2

DR MBARNUM Format Factory is a free application that I have used for years. It converts photos and videos and music files to from just about any format to just about any other format. It doesn't work with DOCUMENTS. But it is virus free and has never caused me any problems, nor have I gotten any emails from them. It does update now and then, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to. And it's small.

DR ELMORE I forgot you were a MAC.....

I think I might be the only one that finds the score to that movie cheesy and kinda bad, except the title song. But I can't wait to hear "Do you have a piano" without having to watch the DVD. Which I do own. (all judgements can begin now)

Back from a wonderful and fun lunch at Langer's - had a pastrami sandwich, two latkes, and one tiny piece of kishka. Only the latter disappoints at Langer's - the kishka is much better at Nate 'n' Al's. But the pastrami and latkes - amazing.

Naturally, one of the packages due today is from Ontrac and hasn't been delivered yet. Unbelievable.
