[senit] AbilityNet YouTube update

I’m not sure how useful this is to the list members

Hi Craig, the vixy site appears to only convert
*online flvs? ie how do you get it to convert your
downloaded flv?
it also says it can convert direct from youtube urls
but it just gives "Error: URL resolve error.
(YouTube.com is down??)" even with its own example
url.
