Does Anybody know how to show a you-tube clip on TV

[Merlin of Flyote 8]

I'm having trouble trying to show a You-Tube clip on TV. I've burnt it to CD but the home Video player will not play it. Any Ideas? please.

I can play it OK from the CD on the Laptop.

If it's a YouTube clip then we're probably talking about a .flv file, right? You'll need to check which type of files your home video player can display, then convert the .flv. Just google convert flv to *filetype you want*.

Alternatively, if your laptop has a tv-out you could just hook it up to your tv.

Just use an HDMI cable from your TV to you video in on your laptop.

That assumes that his TV and his laptop have HDMI connections. Neither of mine do.

Using a "video out" connection is the easiest way to show something from a laptop on a TV. If there are no compatible ports, then file conversion and DVD burning are the next easiest option. Past that, it's hit or miss.

Thanks Guys, my Laptop doesn't have any HDMI/Video Out connections, and the Video on which I want to show the clip is not mine, so I don't know about that but it's old so I doubt it.
