Youtube Download

step 0: install the firefox web browser at www.getfirefox.com

Worked perfectly. Many thanks!

works fine!! THANX

Very Cool. Tech instructions that actually work. Good Job & Thanks!

Hm... links seem to be down to the screenshot and the script file.

looks like that guy's site is down at the moment

This is so AWESOME....I have been searching for something like this for a really long time....Thankyou so much... :)

works Perfect! all i got to do is convert them into a video file so i can burn and watch them

Use this to convert with mac....
If the link is still down just go to the Mozilla site and search greasemonkey.....
Cheers for this :-)

*bows downs and worships you*

grrreat thanks for this :D

This is one of the most useful tricks I've ever learned. Ever! You rule.

YOU ARE MY HERO! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

hmm.... i try to install the Greasemonkey Extension
but i cant. when i click to the extension nothing happen. so i just right click the extension and save in my document folder. right now i dont know where to put the extension. anyone willing to help?

Is there a way I could download the videos with GetRight? I'm on dial-up and Firefox doesn't support download resuming.

I'd REALLY appreciate it! Thanks a lot!

I've done all the steps but when it's time to run the video in VLC all i get is the first frame of the video

This no longer works,
when you click save to disk it wants to save a small file called get_video.

there is no 'save as' link on youtube

woot

Excellent! Thanks!

also ...can this (or be made to work) with other video sites?

thanks. VLC media player heaps better for me.

Vdownloader is a program for Windows that allows you download videos from Youtube and Google Video in AVI or MPG format with just one click.

It can be downloaded here:

Thanks!

Your technique worked perfectly and was quite easy compared with other methods I've read about.

Thanks again

I dowloaded FLV player and the screen is so small when I download the videos onto my computer and I can't make the screen bigger...I wanna ask is the video bigger when u play it with VLC media player?

Works brilliant, thanks. :-)

You are bloody brilliant!! Thank you a thousand times!!!

You can download YouTube videos without using any installations of extra softwares using http://www.fileleecher.com

Thank you.

thanks whoever posted this, it works great, and i dont have to install anything

Thank You!
this is exactly what I've been searching for!
great!

I looked through quite a few methods of retrieving YouTube video and there are several good methods posted around the net. However after looking around YouTube's own methods I came up with this simple method:

1) get the video-id from the URL that you normally click on to play a video

2) in a new browser-page, enter the following URL:

http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=[video-id-here]

example: http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=Yuj5fo56Lbw

3) video download initiates as a normal file download... choose 'save as' and give it whatever name you want, with an .FLV extension

there's your video!

why mess around with greasemonkey, firefox, extensions webpages, etc?

just enter this into your browser:

http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=[video-id-here]

... and save the download with an .FLV extension

works great for me anyway... been downloading tons of them

here's an example for those who don't understand how to enter the video-id:

http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=Yuj5fo56Lbw

that vdownloader will download it and convert it for you though

tried everything on this page.
Option 1 - The Grease monkey extension with Firefox, installing this, then renaming the generic downlaoded file then running RIVA and converting to MPG only to lose quality in the translation was "not" worth it. using RIVA encoder takes the most time.

Option 2 - No doubt, use the downloader.zip above - too easy. Actually makes it mindless 8-)

No luck with the fileleech - too many internal server error messages and you still have to have RIVA convert if you prefer MPG's like me.

Revup67

my download will stop whenever it reaches 12% and above i dunno why. can anyone help me with this?

Thanks :)

Thank you - was just trying to do it with IE before reading this - very important tip

Use mplayer

http://ftp5.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/releases/win32/

instead of those flv players. Mplayer will play just about every file type and doesn't need to be installed. Just unzip it to a folder and stick it on your desktop or anywhere you like. Open the flash vid by right clicking and choosing "open with" browse to mplayer.exe and select "always open with". Mplayer will let you drag and resize the video on the fly unlike most of the flv only players and is just a better solution for playing you flash vids all around.

thats way to much work yo!!

Old. Repost!

K Wong: you're not on digg.com right now, nobody knows what you're talking about. :)

woop! oh my fucking god, Tuberaider roXor's teh big one!!!111!

This just gives me a file called "get_video" which doesn't do anything. Is there a way around this?

"4. Right click the text in the red bar, select "Save Link As," and save the file as a .flv file. Firefox will rty to save it as "get_video.php," you need to change the ".php" to ".flv," and change the first part to whatever you prefer."

did people miss this?

when i attempt to right click and save it comes up as get_video and under files it ONLY says "all files", i.e. i'm not allowed to save it the way i'd like. dl'd both programs mentioned and having no luck. funny how something that should be so easy can be so hard.

I have a YouTube video open in my browser that has been removed from the site. I can play it, but can't use a download app to save it from the url, or restart firefox to install extensions without loosing it. Any way I can save this video?

hello
I need a program that will alow me to place logo on photos automaticaly(because i have many and i cant do that manually)
where can i find one?

This is RIDICULOUS

1) using Greasemonkey causes all sorts of problems

2) Fileleecher has too many broken links

3) Vdownload is corrupted and its zip file can't be opened

Does ANYONE know a good program to download and convert youtubes files?? Cause i'm getting pretty damned pissed. Thanks

Jonny C, you need to clean your system up, two of these options work for me. I first did the Greasemonkey and converted with Riva, then used the Vdownload and that worked great too. I haven't tried Fileleecher.

Heres a nice site which lets you download from youTube, Google Video, Putfile, iFilm and heaps more!

http://keepvid.com/

Hope this helps!!

all of these have worked for me worked for me, i prefer vdownloader because it converts automatically, im not sure why your zip was corrupted

and skully, ITS SUPPOSED TO SAY "ALL FILES," all you have to do is add the extension, when you save it as all files, the whatever extension you put on will be what downloads

My firefox says that youtube is under maintenance but when I open it up under safari, youtube works. What's wrong with this picture?

I DONT SEE OR CANT FIND ANY MUSIC VIDEOESABOUT DREAM STREETSO GET SOME

The only time I found IE useful is in the tube site.
(I use Firefox normally) In case you can't work with Greasemonkey or any other reason you can get the video off IEs cache. Shame I can't do the same thing on FF. But the script works great (until now).

I don't think this works anymore. I just tried http://www.youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=3Dz8dMwCk7c and it was zero bytes. I know the video exists, but maybe YouTube changed something because of all the traffic resulting from digg.

Same. Zero bytes.

I tried using greasemonkey too and it's the same. I think Youtube have changed the codes.

does it really take a while when using the vdownload program to convert it?

Yeah, I haven't been able to download anything today either... was working last night though. I guess they've done something to prevent downloads.

nothing works for the youtube :(

you're all gay!

This supposedly works for downloading and saving YouTube, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it, either in IE or Firefox. Hopefully, someone will figure it out and post comments here:

http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

Nothing works? Use Internet Explorer, then copy the file from your temp directory. Easy and simple.

NOTHING WORKS WHATS YOUR MAJOR MAL FUNCTION YOU TUBE!?>?>

=[ when i downlaod it and try to open it it says the file cannot befound because it was moved or something like that

http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

The above site translates youtube video addresses to a link someone can download, plus many others. Give it a try.

and completely off topic, who knows where I can find Queer as Folk episodes to download (in low quality)?

D.I.Y.V ( pronounced dive ) allows you to download movies from Ifilm.com, Youtube.com and Video.google.com very easily. No more pasting into another browser.. site script etc..

get the program here:

http://www.budzsoft.com/?cat=agree2&download=diyv&type=zip

i visit youtube often and when i did a disk cleanup i searched thru my temporary internet files but i came across some get video file i wanted to know ifd there was a player that allowed me to play these files.

Do you have to have firefox for this to work?

thanks man, works great

I owe you big time, mate.

Very useful. :) Thanks ! Good work.

"step 0: install the firefox web browser at www.getfirefox.com"

~ Posted by Hashim

Best step yet. =P

I still can't understand how to download....
So,can anyone teach me...or give more clear information to me,please...

Works great- hahahaha now i can put a million videos on my video ipod!

does greasemonkey only work for youtube? can it be used to download other flash videos?

greasemonkey is a tool that allows people to write their own java scripts to manipulate sites, its also been used to dwonload off launch, look for more user scripts for greasemonkey at userscripts.com (i think thats the site)

back on topic, the newest version of vdownloader works, been downloadin off it like crazy, hit me at grim_reaper@majorfm.co.uk if you need help

I dont think the greasemonkey scrip is working anymore..

I hope you'll have a fix soon..

thank in advance!

works a fucking charm bro. nice one.

worked like a charm, cheers

Hello everyone, I've realized that (and this may not give a good news but at leat tell you what the hell), you tube doesn't have only one server wich every video are saved, I have noticed that the videos that can be downloaded are those who belong to servers outside the "youtube direct domain", for example i cannot download a video called "webcam" or "kR9ZlF7Gr8Y" it comes from v179.youtube,com, instead another files from another domain as "youtube-336.vo.llnwd.net" wich let you download pretty much every video from that domain...

In conclusion, it's not that some programs work for some and for anothers no, it's just (believe so) the videos got differents protections, and you obviously are not downloading all the same file

the real question is: can anyone find out a form to get the files that belong to those servers that shit up our lives?

all the players / converters you suggested are PC only! except VLC but the current version has problems with FLV files. I checked with the developers!

so what do mac users do?

i have been cracking youtube's swf player for the past weeks and last month i got the code which you can download videos you open, i dont need any other scripts to download youtube's videos it's pretty easy typing the codes in the address bar rather than installing such toolbars.
but for poor people without the knowledge and tardy to get their brains up well, you got this site offering a script, go ahead... lol... just dont praise the creator, it's really easy..

If you don't have any other use for Greasemonkey, you could also just use bookmarklets to download the video clips. That doesn't involve installing anything and works just as well.

Check out the following site, for example:

http://1024k.de/bookmarklets/video-bookmarklets.html

It has free bookmarklets for Google Video, YouTube and other media sites.

hey well i downloaded the greasymonkey or wajhever and the scrip[t, but i csant install the greasymonkey, need HELP right awya, cuz i have a link to download videos from youtubr, metacafe, googlevideo, and two other webistes like those from a guy named javimoya, have u heard of that dude? well try to help me out cuz i really want to download a bunch of shit, and also the riva player converter to avi o mpeg is only for 30 days, but do u know how to get a serial number or a keygen to make it last with no try condition, well i wrote a lot and its to leave, gtg and i hope a reply or whatever on this blog u know

good job guys :D

works... THX

But i will try an easier solution next time !

Hello YouTube, Download Videos posted on April 20, 2006 11:21 PM
This link http://1024k.de/bookmarklets/video-bookmarklets.html
is tha bomb ! Thank You man ...that is so nice of U sharing such a useful thing...Gr8 help with an easy video tutorial. This is DEF the best and easiest way to download all those vids out there.
And the best I didnt have to install Mozilla or anythyn ..it works perfectly via Explorer.
I dunno if it Ur website but anyways I really appreciate this... and U are a Genius...BIG THANKS MAN :D

Youtube have stopped videos from being downloaded?? They made some changes today 28/4/06 (see their 'blog page')!!! Damn them!

yeah, greasemonkey's not working anymore .... rats.

Yeah, really damn!!
I just mastered the skills the day before!!
and now it stops working anymore!!!

(but anyway, thanks for sharing your skills. This is really awesome!!! Yeah, you are a Genius!!And I get several pretty good videos from the site. Thank you very much!!)

Poor, I can't download the videos anymore!!

I can't download anymore either. As of today. Something's gone wrong. I think Youtube has changed their system making it impervious by the greasemonkey script. Plus, their interface looks different now.

I just found out about this method yesterday , and now it's gone !! Shame on them !!! this deserves counter action !!!!

Anybody know if there's a way to make the videos downloadable again? I've been on a downloading frenzy and now it stopped working, DAMMIT!

yah your right,.. huhuhu... is there any possible way to download video from youtube coz the greasemonkey thing is not working now..
i think thats one of the best way that i've learned in downloadng video from youtube but now its gone....

please help me.. please...

www.keepvid.com doesnt work for Youtube videos either. The link it provides doesnt download the vidoes.

it worked fine until like two days ago. whenever i try to save a video it doesn even downloa. it jus says starting and then done. is anyone else havin this problem. email me if u kno wats wrong

It was woking perfectly yesterday, now no videos can be downloaded. It immediately says DONE. and when I try to open it it says "File cannot be opened. It may have been renamed, moved , or deleted since it was downloaded."

IT was working fine yesterday. I have tried reinstalling greasemoney and the script but it still won't work. What the hell has happened?

yea i m havin the same problem

hey guys~ i think youtube just changed or renamed their directory so the link that we used to use just doesn't work anymore~ the site was *down* 2 days ago and it showed they were working on it~ so yeppp, i'm like u guys, trying to find the *new* link so we can d/l again~~~ if anyone find it, just post it on ok??? keep on searching!! :)

REF. the new YouTube problem
While genius ppl work on new scripts that works dont forget U can still get the Youtube file.
First the video has to be loaded.
Then go to the Temporary Internet Files folder in the Windows folder.
Copy the file to a new directory, rename and add .flv at the end of the file name like thys: filename.flv
Its not recommended but if U really need the videos this is a temporarly solution.

This isn't working for me. It works up until I save it as a .flv I can't find the file and when I go to Firefox to Open it from the download window, it says it doesn't exist. Help please.

http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=aWJtqiEwBus&t=OEgsToPDskK-rm87rVR_hINGv5TlWeKV
You now need the t= code which is buried in the html

In youtube to me you can replace the line
var video_url = download_url + video_id;

with the lines
var asdas = getEl("flashcontent").parentNode.parentNode.innerHTML.split("video_id=")[1].split("t=")[1].split("\"")[0];
var tequals = '&t=';
var video_url = download_url + video_id + tequals + asdas;

I havent tested this yet but it should work

www.keepvid.com works once more. I just tried it and downloaded some videos fro Youtube. The trick is to select Youtube from the drop down list FIRST, then enter the Youtube watch URL link in the space, then click download. Right click the link which comes up, click save target as (or for Firefox, 'save link as') and then click save. It should begin to download. When it's done, rename the file and be sure to include .flv at the end.

Oops.. it'll save it as a HTML file. But, it's still viewable if you click 'open with' and open it with a FLV player.

Can someone get this fixed?

hi, i need help here

4 days ago i download vdownload and all works perfectly that day

any clue??

Well I'm stuck with Dial-up so, I can't get the large files anymore since this weekend but, I found that if you complete the Youtube Pod Download you can use the get_video?video_id file and copy n paste it elsewhere then rename it to flv and it plays

Oops I forgot to mention it's located in the temporary Internet File directory ^ ^

Doesn't work. Says it cannot open the file- it may have been changed since downloading. Also, I can't get flash downloaded onto firefox?

i've used keepvid for youtube and it's working
but some of the videos aren't working
for examp : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPFYXAWGHI0

it's the private video
is it because it's invisible so we can't d/l it?
is there any other way to d/l from private video?

can anybody help me?
thank you very much

IF IT SAVES IT AS A .html

Just delete the .html part, it should look like this ".flv.html"

Click "yes" to change the file extension, and voila.

Keepvid.com is working for me.

Seems like people having problem with renaming and stuff...why don't you try another download service ;)
Heres what I found: http://zfreez.com/web/Ut.htm
You can download YouTube video from that site.
Unlike all other download service out there, the downloaded files from this site are in .flv format BY DEFAULT so you don't have to rename or change extension or anything. It also named your file according to the clip name at YouTube :)
Give it a shot.

keepvid.com is fine with me
but the problem is i can't download the private video
it appear like this on keepvid and other similar stuff : http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=

there's no id
is there any other way?

thx

keepvid.com works fine with me! Thanks alot for the hard works! ^^

thanks for keepvid.com address :)

yiPeee!!.. keepvid.com was great!!.. finally i can continue downloading!!..

thank u so much.. tnx for posting it here..

great job guyz!!

mwahhh!!... ^_^

followed everything and it works until when I right click the "save as" and firefox showed a
window pane that said DONE. And when I look at
where I save it, it is not there. PLEASE HELP.
many thanks.

www.keepvid.com is working.. try it.. its very easy just copy the link of the video then paste it on the space provided by the site.. then click the download link...

then just rename it with videoname.flv extension.. make sure you have a flv player but most of flv player are too small, you can't maximaze the vid.. so i suggest to use a converter of flv to any kinds of vid in order for you to play it on windows media..
total video converter is a nice catch.. ",

www.keepvid.com

(hope it will work forever,,,,.. ^_^...)

tnx for all the people who posted this site..

thank you very much!!!!...

iFilm dont work in any site of them :S

That flv player screen is way too tiny. Anyone recommend a good *FREE* converter that works?

@jose camboa

instead of right clicking it, just click it. that will solve it.

I guess youtube worked hard yesterday. now they restrict their videos again! please help.. keepvid.com dont work for this case >.I guess youtube worked hard yesterday. now they restrict their videos again! please help.. keepvid.com dont work for this case >.

Hello everybody! The date here is 5/5/06, and I have found a way to save YouTube videos. Simply open a video on a tab (just one, to keep things simple), let it download fully, then open a new tab and type about:cache?device=disk into the address bar. Copy the line (near the top) after the words "Cache Directory". Now open Explorer and paste that into the address bar there. Now you should see a folder with a lot of gibberish files, choose "View" from the toolbar and then "Details". Now that you have a lot more info, click "Date Modified" once or twice until the newest files are at the top. Now it's a simple matter of adding .flv to the name of the latest big file in that folder :)

Oh, you could probably do this with IE, but someone else can write those instructions ;)

Tzarius: I just dont get it >.Tzarius: I just dont get it >.
What do you mean by Copy the line (near the top) after the words "Cache Directory"?

Attention all Mac users!!

If you are using Mac OS X (like myself) and are wondering how to get your own youtube videos in this sea of windows PC advice, try this:

Get yourself Firefox. (Easy)
Once you have that go onto the mozilla website and look for the extensions tab at the top. Then click Firefox extensions, Look at the top extension downloads on the right you'll see video downloader at fourth (was at time of typing) get that and install onto Firefox: on top bar click: tools, extensions, Drag the Video downloader file onto the extension box and click install.

Restart Firefox. (Apple key and Q then re-open Firefox)

Right click on Firefox toolbar icons (stop, forward, back etc.), click customize then drag the Video downloader icon from the bottom (tee hee I said bottom! (English humour, don’t worry)) and put onto the icons toolbar.

Go to the video you like on the youtube website.

Open it up and then pause it (cuts down on lag). Now, click the icon that you have just put on your toolbar, this will now bring up a new window. Now right click on the download link button then select "save linked file as...” This will now bring up the "save file as" screen name the file what you want, then, put a ".flv" (without the (save quote marks) on the end, now save to desktop. Exam ple: mankillshimselfcozhecantsaveyoutubevidz.flv

Now it should bring up the download status window, which tells you stats like, how long left, amount downloaded and KBs. Once you have the file it looks blank and probably wont play on VLC (bastard I know.) so what you need is...

iSquint.

Now, this is a Gucci piece of kit (really good) that converts FLV and more into mp4 to put on your screen or iPod! Once you have downloaded this and installed it open it up, drag the blank file onto the programme the press start. Depending on quality settings and file size it can take anywhere from couple of minutes to Real time Decoding (it done a 19mb video in about three minutes for me on standard) once finished open the file and enjoy! ...And rest...

I hope this has help the Mac users and some of the PC users that may be having difficulties as well. If it sounds a bit patronising I apologise, but remember that there maybe people out there that are doing this for the first time, and need to be taught how to suck an egg, so to speak. (no offence)

Try these links...

Good luck everyone,

Matt. :-)

you can download the total video converter here

http://www.vadino.com/Free+Download+Total+Video+Converter

... this version is not free, its only for 15 days, but you know you can use it forever!!... if 15 days is over just change the date on your computer, like me i download that application last april 14, 2005 and to be able to use it even it is expired i change the date on my computer, whenever i used it my date is always in april 15,2005..

^_^

try this: http://www.youtube.com/v/video_idname

well.... for guys using firefox, you could always search your cache directory and find out the true locations of the ".flv" files... hope that helps

Umm... How long does it take usually for keepvid to download a youtube vid? ^^

Wow it roxk thanks man

it does not work on mine...it can be saved as 'get_video' but the php is already missing
can someone help?

dosent work.....PHP is already missing..... need help.... when i download it dosent show up

I can't get Total Video Converter to work; it says I need to buy it. And Riva crashes my computer.

Are there any other programs you can suggest?

Matt's MAC step-by-step rocks!
I love the british!
totally works, you fcan re-set the size, frame rate etc. in the advanced panel that comes out ot the right side of the video downlaoder deal.

does this work on the new youtube updates... i ran the progam before, but now with the updates i cant get it to work.... i havent updated my firefox or anything... any ideas?

If other methods don't work, you can watch the video and then grab the file directly from your browser's temp cache as well.
You will have to rename it to an .flv file. To check which temp file it is, you can just click on the file and open it with VLC viewer. The path to the file should be similar to this one.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\gz7rxtlm.default\Cache

i installed al of the above and i get the red tape, and it even saves something, but when i try to open it , it says the file is either removed or renamed. in another words it doesnt save. please help

Ok, I've done everything as stated, but when I tried to find the Youtube videos I saved, there's none. To simplify it, I save it at Desktop, but there's no files are there.

WOT THE HELL has happened to youtube?

I installed successfully the GreaseMonkey as well as the .js file.

I DO see the red bar on top of my screen (in the case of www.youtube.com) BUT when i click "save as" and rename the extention to .flv it says: "it dosent exist or file name has been changed" as already mentioned before.

Hope they can make it work again :D

Hey I use Internet Explore how can i use that feature without having to download Firefox

I used the add on from Firefox and it seems to work but the video is small and I can't adjust the sound or video size? Does anyone have a better option?

Video artists' best friend! TYVM.

hey there,

when i save the file (.flv) it just dont exist in the folder i've choosen.
the firefox download manager says that the file is corrupt oder doesnt exist anymore.
pls help ^^

I tried to download a 9 minute clip using Video Downloader. But it only managed to download the first minute and thats it. What the heck?

It seems it doesn't work anymore :(

hey, it was working just fine until it was time for me to save the file, because then i can't save it as an .flv. it just says "save as type: all files" and it won't let me change it. what am i supposed to do?! thanks

Ok so I tried Vdownloader and it worked! Erm...cheers.

Well it's 9:43pm on july 7th 2006 and I just downloaded firefox and add videodownloader and everything works fine. renaming to .flv. It's a small screen, but it looks great and clear. Maybe firefox tweaked the videodownloader. Try removing it and starting again maybe. But it's easy as pie tonight gettin the youtube down. Good luck.

ps just bought a new laptop this week so maybe that has something to do with it.

As of July 10th, it appears that youtube has blocked it again.

It's the 11th and I'm downloading right now. Whenever I get and "error" or "warning" message in the vdownloader window, I just close out firfox..open again and go back to the video I want and it works...Maybe they are locking in on your connection, so closeout and retry.
good luck.

Does anyone know if wireless connection is not good for downloading Youtube vids? I tried using keepvid.com, but the entire vid doesn't get downloaded or it says "Timeout, try again."

This has happened frequently and I hope someone helps me out.

Thanks!

Oh boy...Out of the blue Keepvid is working again!

I downloaded vdownloader and it worked for awhile and then no matter what youtube file location I entered, it would say "not a valid youtube location"....wtf.....and it says "disconnected" in the bottom left corner, but the site is up and working, I'm using fast connection....what gives?

VIEW YOUR VIDEOS ON A LARGE SCREEN FLV PLAYER!

I figured out an easy way to get the flv player to play large.

1. download a video that has the size code available. I got one from google video.

2. launch that video and click on the 2x zoom choice.

3. Now pause that video and don't close it out. Now open your youtube folder and click on a video and drag (do not double click) the video into the large screen. The video will load and expand to fill that large screen!

If you close out the big screen, then next time just start with that "trigger" video again and then drag again.

good luck

can you help me?

tanks

before the red banner save as method worked until it one day stopped. but keepvid and videodownloader works fine.

I've just used Keepvid.com to download some video files. It's great! And i know another site to get link: www.videodl.com
Have fun!

I'm sorry. The true link is: http://videodl.org/

When I try to download a video from youtube, I get the red bar at top. I choose save as, and then the file starts downloading... but then it quits without downloading anything, like a 404.

works in google but not in you tube, where are the brains to fix this one///...

i downloaded the firefox and greasemonkey and everything seemed to work fine until i try to get it to convert. i see the video on youtube i want, then go to save link as..., but it won't let me save it as a .flv file. i don't know what to do. your help would be much appreciated.

Use keepvid! It's been working all week so take advantage of it. It's easy and no firefox stuff to deal with.

Once I download to a .flv file, how can I convert it to burn to a dvd to play in a normal dvd player? Any free software? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your precious tip. I downloaded and converted all to DVD with "Total Video Converter" from eMule. Today, july 25th, Javamoya didn't work. YOU'RE GREAT!

Total video converter is good, but it only for 15 days....anyone can help me?

>>> TO LIZA >>> JUST GET "Total Video Converter" FROM EMULE, BUT TRY TO FIND A VERSION ZIPPED AND INCLUDING THE KEY GENERATOR. ANY PROBLEM, ANSWERE US BABK.

Does anyone know how to retreive, rip, or view a removed video from youtube? If its been removed by user or violations?

i've try EMULE, but i don't know where to start...i've already have the key generator...

Youtube has made some changes.
The youtube flash video file is now saved in the Local Settings\temp folder and is locked so that it cannot be copied while the Youtube player window exists.

If you close the Youtube player window, the file in the temp folder is deleted so one cannot save it.

Anyone have a fix for this?

hemm...cant download from youtube now....dis sucks very much dude....anybody av an idea?

God-damn ... its so easy without messing around
1) watch the video you want in the default player
2) Find the file you d/loaded..stored in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
...or similar to this,,,just search yout drive for "youtube"....
3) copy and paste the file to your desktop, and rename it to whatever.avi , and play it in VLC media player

it works!!! thanks a lot! you are THE MAN!!!!

This is very good on saturdays like today i can download the best videos from youtube and watch them without waiting for ages to have the whole video!
thx

How to save vid that being flagged that is appropriate

video may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community.

To view this video, please verify you are 18 or older by logging in or signing up.

NEW Youtube Changes to stop downloads:
The Youtube video temp file is now locked so that it cannot be copied while the Youtube player is open. When you close the Youtube window, the file in the temp folder is deleted.
SOLUTION:
1) play the file in Youtube and leave the window open.
2) pull the plug on your PC. (yes!) Youtube does not have time to delete temp file.
3) restart.
4) copy and rename file to xxx.flv and open in a .flv viewer program
NOT very elegant, but it works.

if you replay a video, you will see that the file HAS been stored locally somewhere - it "downloads" instantly.
So guys - where is it? Not in your temp folder, but...? where?

it works nigga. damn, a very laughable sort of an idea but it does work. but jus like u man im also surprised bout dat whole instant download thing durin a replay. need some work on it i guess huh. anyways thanx cuz.

so how does this work with sites like pornotube.com?

when i download greasemonkey it asks which progamme created it...can anyone help me please?

can anyone help me on how to transfer the data to the firefox?

how can i change the file type to .flv again? all video files i download are in .htm format. There seemed to be no option for changing the file type when i'm saving.

great, thanks for the guide

Yo dawg this page is da shizzle...cant believe I went this long waitin for long azz downloads!!! Off the chain. Big ups from Liberty City, da MIA!!

plz tell me the script for myspace also

fuck firefox why not IE?? i know that you can save all vidz and you don't need firefox to make it work... wtf is wrong with IE...

more people are happy if you post a way to do it on this browser than you will now have....

"how can i change the file type to .flv again? all video files i download are in .htm format. There seemed to be no option for changing the file type when i'm saving."

go to my computer.
click tools.
click folder options.
uncheck the box that says " hide extensions for known file types".
there u go. now u can change the extension to flv.

excellent

do you actually have to yank the power supply? can't you just disconnect your ethernet cable/adapter/phone line (whatever you use) while the window is still open?

Thanx to the GreaseMonkey and the author of this tip, it's really great, I could get all the Meat Puppets videos from YouTube, and also fully complete my discography and more of them ! Once again, thanx ! (from france, hehe).

Greasemonkey is the most popular method but it is NOT needed.

Play the UTube movie in your browser and after it completes downloading...

In C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\plugtmp-5\ there should be a file called "get_video" and has no extension.

Copy "get_video" to a different directory and rename the file with an .flv extension.

When I right click the this .js file, the option for installing the script doesn't show up.

heya if eny1 can save videos from bebo.com please email me how to beacause this method doesnt work thank you!! pudd1ng@aol.com

Please
