i dont think u can copy the video as it streams via flash.. otherwise also it would be illigal..

Re: utube.......

if ur using ie.. after the song is played completely the song will be stored by the name get_video* in temporary files.. to open that vls or vlc ( not sure what extention ) u need to have vlc player.... google for vlc... i was never successful in changing the vlc vdo format to any of lovely ones

Re: utube.......

use the VideoDownloader extension in Firefox to download videos from Google Vids or You Tube etc...

Its one of the top 3 extensions the last time I checked.

Re: youtube

video downloader ext .. as mentioned above .. is a very good option

Re: youtube

I do that daily i.e video downloading from youtube.

1. Just save this link as "youtube-dl" => *www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/youtube-dl
2. command as "youtube-dl -u username -p password *whatever_video_address_be output_file_name"
3. Ur done!!

youtube-dl is a python script! So u have to install python first.
Or on LINUX u can just give execute permission to "youtube-dl" file and then command as explained in step 2!

Re: youtube

This is the answer to all questions...

Hold your breath guys..

'Replay Converter' converts .flv to .avi

but is it completely legal to download video like that

Re: saving internet stream videos....

**what you'll need** ==>> "Ultra Flash Video Converter" *www.ultrashareware.com/Ultra-Video-To-Flash-Converter.htm (trial version will do)

Dunno about the extensions, but if you have already watched the VIDEO in the OPERA Browser,
then just goto the "cache4" folder of opera

- the path- "C:\Documents and Settings\[USER Account]\Application Data\Opera\profile\cache4"

& search for the files with .flv extension (right click & select "arrange icons by size"= this way you'll find these files at the bottom).
==>>Now drag the file into the "converter's" window & click "Convert".
You're done.

Before converting Configure the Program,(diff. format output.. .wmv, .avi....)

Read the terms and agreement in those sites. If says legal well good, If it says illegal the FBI will give you a call.

SOLUTION!!!
All in one bookmarklet - thsi is simply the best method of downlaodign videos from youtube, just hit the bookmarklet(on that page), and instantly it will open a page with the direct link for the video!!

1. open the site
2. just bookmark the link that it says
3. hit the bookmark when there is an enbedded-video on the page

How can there be something better than this??? VideoDownloader, it not only downloads the vdos in a single click but dynamically converts it to mpeg or asf format then and there... you just need to put the link in here... its sooo simple

hi try You tube grabber

*khin007.com/2006/09/19/download-youtube-grabber/

its a freeware helps you to grab You tube videos

I see a lot of people complaining that Video Downloader does not work. Well it works fine if you understand how to use it. This is what i do
1. Click on the Video downloader icon. I get a popup window which gives me a link
2. Yes I know that link does not end in .flv but some gibberish. Never mind, paste that link into a fresh firefox tab or window.
3. Now you will get the firefox download window with the filename.flv extension, prompting you for the destination to save the file.
4. After this I usually watch the file with mplayer, and if I like decide to keep it I convert it to XviD with ffmpeg

U can also use this site to save Youtube videos:

How many times it has to be said, downloading from youtube is illegal and hence the discussion on this forum too. closed.
