You can't download them directly from youtube, because what's showing youtube is just the video, not the file itself. Your best bet would be to ask the owners of the videos to email the files to you.

http://www.zamzar.com/ try this one.

Okay, here's what you do. Go to www.download.com and download the program called youtube downloader. Once you do this, you simply paste in the URL of the video you want to download and you have it. Also you can use the same program to convert the video you downloaded to pretty much whatever file you want.

What was the output format when you convert from those websites? If it wasn't WMV, try WMV because WMV is Windows' own video format. Or try this free converter: http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/ i have been using it & the converted WMVs are compatible with WMM
