First, Are you a member of the chat group or of another
general blindness technology discussion group? Here is my e-mail
address.
This topic may be closed at any time for being inappropriate
for this list. I'm giving you my address so you can continue talking
with me but I'm just one person. It would be a much better idea to be
ready to transfer the discussion to another list.
Now, to your issues:
Which version are you using? If version 3, unless you know how to
look, the program will appear to do nothing.
Do you know how to use Switch, for converting files? I
am not trying to discourage you from learning object navigation and you may
find it useful in other contexts. But if you are using version 3, your
choices are to learn object navigation enough to use version 3, or to use
version 2, and then use a program like Switch to convert the downloaded file
to the format you want. But at this point, we don't know if the program
is working or not.
As far as posting the address, don't do it. Have the
address in the clipboard. Then open the program. If you tab
around, you will see that the address is already in the program. It
automatically places the address in the clipboard in the field the program
uses to tell it what page to go to. I don't know what happens if you
manually paste it, but that may be one reason the program isn't going to the
page. You may be placing a second copy of the address into the field,
though I'd have to check the program to see.
Have the address in the clipboard before you open the
program. Do so by going the the actual Youtube page with what you want
to play on it. Press f6 to move to the address bar. Copy the
address to the clipboard with control c. You don't need to select it
first. It is already automatically selected.
Close the browser if you wish.
Open Pontes Media downloader. If you tab around, you
will see the address in the edit field.
Press the download button, or whatever it says, and see if
the file is downloaded and converted. Even if you don't know how to
check at this point, if you are converting a song, wait for perhaps four or
five minutes and look in the place where the file should be found.
At this point, we have no way to know why you are having
problems with different converters but following this procedure will help us
determine if Pontes Media Converter is working properly.

I don't know why. Which version of the program are
you using? In version 3.x, it may appear that nothing happens but
using object navigation shows if something is. It is much easier for
those not aquainted with object navigation in NVDA to use version 2x of the
program because what is occurring is shown in the title bar and reading it
shows what is occurring.
Also, how are you placing the download address in the
program?

What do you mean by Ponts stopped working. It
works fine here, both 2.x and 3.x versions. Please give
details. If the program generally had stopped working, I'd have seen
lots of discussion on various lists I follow. We need to try to
figure out why it isn't working in your case.
