Download Vids of Youtube onto your harddrive.

[AmazinAzian12]

I dont know if this is related to pirating so ill just put the thread up and wait for responses first. Dont want to risk suspension.

But yea. If anyone likes a video on youtube and cant find anywhere to download to your harddrive then respond. But only if its allowed.

I've been doing it for months (downloading the videos and renaming them as .flv files) but I was always too worried to let the whole community know about it.

It'd be cool if a mod could let us know either way as I've got some good tips for converting .flv format into just about anything you want, .mov,.mpeg,.wmv etc etc , even converting the onto my PSP.

A PSP, a 2gb memory card and the power to download any video from youtube etc can liven up even the most boring of lunch breaks.

Awww do you have to do that. I am sure all the kind moderators on jemsite will allow that

[AmazinAzian12]

Ok. Well here i go

1)Find the video that u want.
2)Look where u can get the code for embedding vids onto ur webpage or myspace.
3)Copy it.
4)Paste it on a wordpad or notepad
5)Find the url int the center of the code.(should be like this, http://www.youtube.com/v/qWmiO4SavZI) Thats for a Weird al vid.
6)Copy and paste that onto your web browser.Press Enter/Return
7)Video should be real big.
8 )Presss play and let video load all the way
9)After that, look at the address bar and find something that looks like this: p.swf and replace it with get_video
10)save and enjoy!

[AmazinAzian12]

To be more specific on step 5.
the embed code should look like this:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PPimiYS4qXM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PPimiYS4qXM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

and the link is what ur supposed to copy and paste onto your web browser

The easy way to do this is:
1) Download and install Firefox. It's better than IE anyway.
2) Install the Video Downloader add-on/extension for FF.
3) Go to YouTube, find a vid you want to DL, click the Video Download button in FF's Status Bar.

Done.

[AmazinAzian12]

What is firefox??

And what if they dont want to download firefox?

[waylay00]

Firefox is an internet browser that everyone should be using. I've been using it for four years now, and I never go back to Internet Explorer...

Anyways, here is a guide that I have used in the past to save vids from Youtube:

i've heard of a mac program called tube sock that does the trick. but you do have to buy it, and plus, i don't go on youtube that much anyway. but any mac owners, tubesock maybe something to look into?
