Hi Guys, I use Freemake Video converter quite often to convert downloaded videos to DVD. I ave tried to paste the URL in the programme but keep getting the message that there is nothing on the clipboard. Can anyone shed any light on my problem. Where can I check my clipboard to see if it's functioning?
 
I copy the URL to Word as a Hyperlink then copy and paste into Freemake. I have tried several times and it just does not work. No problems copying and pasting in Word or anything else.

What browser are you using?

Copy directly from your browser address bar to Freemake.
 
Some youtube links have additional strings after that final ''watch?v=xxxxxxxxx'' identifier...

That might be causing the problem. You can usually discard the stuff after ''watch?v=xxxxxxxxx'''. Also try removing the 's' in 'https'.
