Download You Tube Videos

..................................................................................................................................................................................

Google already has a option for downloading videos, but you tube does not. This is an instructable describing on how to download the videos off of youtube to your computer for editing, storing, whatever.

It opens up endless possibilities for example you can take existing videos like this one

and crappily edit them to be like this one

Step 1 Get the software

You need firefox to do this. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/central/

You also need grease monkey, great software that allows you to control websites http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/

Once grease monkey is installed you need the youtube extension http://www.joshkinberg.com/blog/files/youtube_to_me.user.js

I don't like to use buggy browser add-on to download YouTube or other video-sharing websites' videos, the downloading process often blocked or time-out. I don't know why! But when I use this Youtube video recorder , I can easily record videos from YouTube and get videos from it at batch.

[mfetter]

I always use YouTube downloaders of any kind.
I also use free Exel.

[TubeSearch]

I'm using Download Youtube Videos from TubeSearch.net for a while now and it is awesome and best of all its free.

[ducktape.mac]

is it illegal? well actually, does it put cookies, viruses, or anything like that on your computer?

[mavrrr]

To download video with youtube I use service takeyoutube.com

[samthjj67]

Now here have a free software "StreamTransport", The app is able to browse and download video clips from video hosting websites of HTTP, RTMP, RTMPT, RTMPE, RTMPTE protocol, and these cover overwhelming majority of websites such as Hulu, Veoh, Joost, YouTube, Yahoo Video, CBS, etc
Here is the link: http://www.streamtransport.com

[ALMODA]

I installed moonshell151_with_dpgtools121 on my R4 card, everything works well, games, mp3 and this video I downloaded .dpg Looney Tunes --- Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd --- Rabbit Fire (1951) I am trying to play some videos I downloaded from utube and so far nothing seems to work. I used Clip Extractor & saved the videos to avi. I used Super Video Coverter (v20009.build.35),to convert them to .dpg It worked fine. I used dpgshow.exe to watch them and all is great. I copy the files to my SD card and when I load Moonshell the files are not there! What am I doing wrong? Please, help me!
