How to edit certain film?

On windows media maker, how do you get videos from the internet on there because im making this thing for youtube and im basing it on final fantasy and i found the film on the internet but i dont know how to edit clips out of itor put it on windows. help!

• Answer:

  Most sites on the internet use Flash to stream the video to your machine. There are other ways of streaming off the internet but they all have one thing in common, they make it very difficult to "save" the movie to your hard drive, which is what you'll need to do to edit it. If you have already got the movie on your hard drive then it is simply a matter of installing a codec or converting the video file, so that movie maker will recognize it. Depending on where you found your movie or what format you have it in, there are many different methods. Let me know what site and/or format and I'll go over the methods needed. Hope this helps.
