Downloading Youtube Videos

[J4MIE]

So far I believe that I have to install firefox to be allowed to do this. So I have, but it's not letting me.

Over to you, Daniel..... :p :

Or anyone else got any ideas? :s

[Curryhead]

do you mean downloading them to your hardrive? If so, I did'nt know you could do that?

[J4MIE]

do you mean downloading them to your hardrive?

Yes, for viewing at a later time/offline etc :) Have been told that it is possible!

Clear your internet cache, then watch the clip. It'll be stored in your cache (aren't you glad you emptied it first? Makes the clip SO much easier to find :p )

I think YouTube clips are .flv files, in which case download flvplayer (http://applian.com/flvplayer/)

Copy the clip out of your cache to somewhere useful, and drag it into the player.

:)

Oh, and get rid of Firefox :p

[J4MIE]

Thank you sir :up:

You cannot directly download them as in right click and copy but Dave has given the perfect work-around for that........and Firefox is good!

You are right. And it doesn't depend on the browser. You just need to know where your browser stores its temporary files.

You should know I'd never tell anyone how to possibly infringe upon someone's copyright and steal their intellectual property :p *cough*

As for Dave? Well he's got no morals :p

As for Firefox it's just one big memory leak, ad blocking? who cares these days? most ads aren't popups and sites nead them to survive and as for extensions? WTF? It's like being able to go to Halfords and put taco shaped side view mirrors on your car :mark: Sure it's good to be able to, but do you actually need more of these things and do they really make it better than IE?

I don't see how most of these are useful or anything over what IE gives you as standard :mark:

Although there is an extension to download youtube videos so perhaps it is of slightly more use than a chocolate teapot

Such complicated and time wasting methods you use. :p

Get with the times, us this: http://vixy.net/

Best thing about it is, those bloody videos arent in .flv anymore!

[harsha]

u can download youtube clips

just keep the link in keepvid (.com/.net not sure) website and download that..
save that downloaded file as a .flv file and open it with an flv player or a VLC player...

another thing to do is convert that to a regular avi file later
