I used to be much more active. I may be an example of why we as a group aren't as active now. rhizo made a valid point that this is a slow time of year for citrus. Those of you in the north have your trees indoors and my in-ground trees are mostly dormant although a few of my trees beg to differ. I was more active when I first got started and had bookoos of questions and was just posting photos of my trees for the first time. Now, I post once in a while but most of you have seen all there is to see of my trees. I'm also spreading my time into some other activities now that I have most of my citrus needs figured out. It's always been a great and very active forum and most of us still come through here now and then, just don't have anything newsworthy to share yet. That being said, I was shocked Friday when I walked by one of my Ponderosa lemons and saw little purple leaves sprouting....almost certainly will get frozen if we get the cold snaps we always get in February. It's been sooooo mild here this "winter" that I have an avocado growing outside that came up from a seed I tossed out with other compost under my kumquat tree. My calamondin is also unaware that it's February. It's smack in the middle of a rather large burst of blooms.

"Doing those will require that I learn more." Truthfully, I had never tried downloading captions from Youtube until you mentioned it so... I learned a little too, which is a good thing, I think. Also, I probably didn't follow your method precisely in that I did not use Freemake Video Downloader to get the video from Youtube. I used one of the several Youtube video downloader add-ons to get the video sitting on my desktop in front of me to work with. I then used the Greasemonkey script to download the ".srt"(subtitles) file to my desktop beside the video. Then I used Freemake Video Convertor to open the video, add the subtitles file, and finally to convert to DVD. Using that method I have subtitles hard-coded into the resulting DVD files. Using that method worked for me. Honestly, I've never used the Freemake downloader but I assume it should work the same. BTW, if you installed the Grease Monkey add-on and then(after installing GM) installed(by clicking the green "Install" button in the upper right corner) the captions download script, the little Grease Monkey icon should go from grayed out to active(?) when you go to the video page you linked above. If it does, you should automatically have the subtitle download buttons since that's what the script is for. Good luck. Edit: Just for fun, here are the captions in "timed-text" format, not that they would do you any good without converting them to "srt" but still, it's interesting. http://video.google.com/timedtext?lang=en&v=c2aF6-RXs0Y. Notice the "v=video_id" part on the end. I assume you could use that as a template to get timed-text for any Youtube video having captions. Just guessing though. I got that from the source of the Greasemonkey script.

You're very welcome! Glad to be of help. When you paste into Works, see if under Edit, if there's a "Paste Special" option. If so choose "Plain Text" or wording close to that. It's been a long long time since I've used Works and I greatly dislike the program for several reasons so I can't be more specific there. Or just drop it into a text file then recopy it. happyday's examples are (part of) why Firefox has moved down consistently in my browser choices. (It took them 10 years to get Paste & Go as a part of the browser fer cryin out loud! LOL) Back in the early versions it was my backup browser to Opera but I've never found it functional enough to make it my first choice and it went downhill for several versions though they seem to have plateaued a bit. I still stick with Opera as #1. It's far more refined and professional. Even with the mail client and other features built in it's still smaller, lighter and much faster than Firefox. You can configure it in so many ways, skin it if you want and much more. I'm spoiled with the keyboard shortcuts and it drives me crazy when I use any other browser now - I hit X & Z and other shortcuts and of course they don't work. Firefox is too geeky and patched together, being a committee project (where committee members aren't focused) and accordingly it requires constant updates and modifications and you have to add extensions to it to get basic performance though I will say some are interesting for other features. I simply want to use a browser with minimal fuss (Really pretty silly to have to put 25 extensions onto a browser to have it perform as a browser should "out of the box") and I do like the larger screen area on Opera and ability to configure to each user's needs. My second choice is K-meleon, third is Chrome. I've tried Safari but that's a very basic browser too from what I've seen and don't need another of them. I still use Firefox for the webmail check but Chrome now has the same/comparable extension so Firefox might just get retired altogether from my systems. I don't automatically load it on new systems anymore. Don't get me wrong, I like the open source concept and OpenOffice is proof of what can be done with open source. Just seems like too much bickering going on with the Firefox folks and there's no focus to the project. Which reminds me, instead of using Works, get OpenOffice. Far more functional, it's free and has a lot of compatibility with Microsoft Office that Works does not have. Far better choice than Works. It also has the paste special feature. It's an excellent program. I only use (therefore only set up) the "writer" (word processor) portion since I don't need spreadsheets often or the other items. Whenever I set up computers for clients I remove Works if it's on there to save myself support issues! It's really bad news IMO. OpenOffice, Opera, Comodo, etc are all on the essential list of software and get loaded up when I set them up. But I digress! Incidentally the encoding thing should work in any browser. I thought I said that but it sounds like I might not have made that clear to everyone. Just to clarify. Hope your browsing is much clearer now with less extraneous characters!

Here’s another example. Again without going to Google or other similiar site. Rather, by typing gardenweb.com in the address box, and then entering the search term (in this case, “Mr. Lincoln”) in the search box at gardenweb.com. The first option presented is to search “Mr. Lincoln in Gardenweb“. Which yields: https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/query/%E2%80%98mr.-lincoln%E2%80%99/nqrw As you can see, over 2000 gardenweb Rose forum discussions on Mr. Lincoln, the rose. And you can arrange them by ”latest”, ”relevance”, ”unanswered” or ”popular”. Just like before.
