How do I take movies off the net and put them in things like windows movie maker?

Firstly if you are not aware, a short warning: There are risks in downloading movies from the net. You are in danger of your computer being infected with viruses. You may also, in certain countries be in violation of copyright laws and the penalties are very harsh.

Having said that I have, likeTheOneWhoKnows, used YoutubeDownloader and found it OK. If you have a look at a sites like 'Snapfiles' you will find quite a few 'free' or 'trial' versions of downloaders.

You can also get a number of plugins for Firefox which will allow you to download videos on the fly - They will be saved as flash video (,FLV) and so you will need to get a freeware video converter to convert it to either . AVI or WMV in order for Windows Movie Maker to accept it.

IF I used youtube downloader with a fire wall would I still be in danger and what is a converter.

Youtube downloader for example, and then convert it with converter.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
