hi
i am trying to download youtube videos whose links are given on another website page

now what i want instead of click links one by one and then downloading is there any method thru which i can download videos from that or any software tool etc which can generate links of those videos so that they can be downloaded by using IDM

I have already used ByTubeD it generates the link few files and some links are not downloadable

thanks in advance

Just click on "View on Youtube" button in the video flash player. When the video starts buffering in youtube.com, IDM will automatically catch it and show a "Download this video" about the video of at the bottom-left of the webpage depending the version of IDM. The latest version also shows a list of all available resolutions and qualities of video being buffered!

For me best is ytd downloader. All you have to do is copy paste the url of that youtube video and bingo!! It will even let you choose the quality of video from 1080p to 240p

Off-topic : I don't know why people still consider downloading from YouTube as legal.

there are much bigger copyright infringment that some of us users do; YouTube being one of the smallest of them.

This topic should be banned. There are so many threads about this still running.

I agree with you. Even am not squeaky clean, but still better than the most.
I just pointed it out because many consider downloading from youtube as legal as they equate streaming to downloading.
