Hi Paul, Many thanks for taking the time to direct my efforts in downloading the 1905 San Francisco Market St. 'youtube' video. I am delighted to say that I was successful on my first download attempt thanks to your concise instructions. The download went smoothly, without a hitch, just as instructed. My "burning" of the CD was a bit troublesome but that too was accomplished with a bit of patience & persistence. Your help with this is greatly appreciated.
