How to save Videos from YouTube ?
-
Any experts know??? Saw that there are lots of nice videos being uploaded there. I believe the videos are cached somewhere since you can replay it again and again.
-
1. view source of the page (Ctrl + U in firefox), or View > Page Source (they disabled right click on the page lol)
2. Ctrl + F to find "embed"
3. in the embed part, find src="xxxxxxxx.extension"
4. copy the xxxxx.extension
5. open windows media player and press ctrl + U (to open url), paste the xxxxx.extension
6. when it plays you can now click file > save as... then save it to your computer
im not sure if it works anymore, havent been to that web in quite awhile -
I think i tried before. but its not working since it is using Flash.

Xcert's version always works because youtube downloads the file to your computer and plays whats been cached/streamed.
Once the stream is finished the whole file is actually on your computer in the cache, in the location that Xcert indicates.
( On the pc for example: C:\Documents and Settings\FireIce\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files )
You need to figure out where the cache is on the Mac (because I cannot remember right now, but Xcert had it correctly, and VLC is also highly recommnded) but the same technique should work.
This works best with the Internet Explorer browser because Firefox handles the cache differently and you cannot easily access it, nor the files contained within.
The files are Flash movie files, called FLV's, and you can download the free FLV player from here: http://www.flvplayer.com/
Just rename the extension to each file you copy from the cache to ".flv" -
thanks ^^;Originally posted by rainee:second one...have to download cinema forge tho...but it is worth it i guess... -

IE actually names the file based on the youtube address, and doesnt get an extension:
ie. the perma address of this video is: http://www.youtube.com/?v=H0OUCh4XmH8
in the cache its called: (easy to find because the file is usually large)
get_video?video_id=H0OUCh4XmH8
so just copy it out from there to wherever you want, and rename it to anything you want with the ".flv" on the end.
eg.
singapore_advert.flv
if you have already installed the free player, this will open automatically and play.

no extension.Originally posted by silv3rgal:Erm.. so whats the original extension of the file found in the temp internet files folder? thanks^^
It is listed as "File" under the extension column if U view it using Windows Explorer. -
I prefer downloading it then converting it to video as I get to choose the video format. Somemore I using Firefox, I can multiview different video at the same time while I downloading. HAha. Thanks dude for sharing the information.

for those of you who dunno where is the Temporary Internet Files...here's the way to find it
Open your Internet Explorer program(I am using IE6 and I presume U are using it too)
Tools->Internet Options...
the tab that comes up should be "General"...the 2nd portion of that Tab is Temporary Internet Files...there is a "Settings..." button...click on it.
Another window should come up and U should be able to see a "Temporary Internet Files Folder" section...Look for a "View Files..." button and click on it.
Ur Temporary Internet Files folder should come up.
its something in the form like "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"
click all the "Cancel" buttons in ur Internet Explorer program to get out of it. -
its OK....different people different strokes...Originally posted by XciteZ:I prefer downloading it then converting it to video as I get to choose the video format.

the rename method is good for those who already have VLC player installed or are low on resources... -

the videos are in .flv format.
you need to get a player to play them, coincidentally it's called the "FLV player". after you d/l, add a .flv extension at the back of the filename. then you could play it.
