Freemake Video Converter

[MichaelZZ]

I have been sent via YouTube a dozen or so short (less than 1 minute each) video clips of my granddaughter. I would like to join them together to make one relatively seamless video.
Is Freemake the best way to do it?
Are there any pifalls in downloading Freemake? (I don't want any unwelcome toolbars or Adware that I'll have to spend ages getting rid of!)
Any comments would be welcome.
Thanks

Windows Live Movie Maker is free and part of Windows Live Essentials.
( I think, during the download, you can deselect any elements you don't want).

Nice try BMJ, but "Movie Maker is no longer available to download for Windows Vista."

Save all your clips to video's on your computer. Download DVD Flick ( freeware ). Load your clips one by one to DVD Flick & end up with a DVD of seamless film to play on DVD player or Computer.

Thanks for your comments WRon.
I might be being unusually thick but exactly how do I save the YouTube clips to videos? I don't seem to have the option to save with any known video/movie extension.

Sorry but my knowledge of Video Converters is tantamount to zero. However I have done a little Googling and established that Freemake is good but care must be taken when downloading the programme because it is offered as a free item but along with a lot of extras, such as unwelcomed Toolbars.

Incidentally, you are correct to mention that 'Movie Maker' is no longer available for Vista. However, I would have thought that it was installed in your computer when you bought it.

Another thought is that perhaps the Video Clips of your Granddaughter could have been sent to you as E/mail attachments and your comp's inbuilt Windows Media Player could have played them one after the other; because the legality of saving from You Tube is somewhat questionable.....Not that anyone would be aware that you had.....Except perhaps Google of which I think You Tube is part of the Google Organisation.

Give AppGeeker video covnerter a try, it has option to merge multiple files into a single file.
