Download Youtube

[classictruckman]

My Dad is always asking me to save videos for youtube and other sites, but I don't think ther is a way to do that. Am I wrong? If anybody knows of a way to save video files from places like youtube I'd like to know because I've got some videos to send to another buzzer.

Id love to find out. I lost all my footage off of my harddrive a while back. Someone send me a pm if they find a way.

I've saved Youtube videos before, I can't remember what util I used but getting them to play stand alone (no player) was kind of a pain, it's been a long time.

Jesse, Youtube converts video to Flash so you won't recover 100% of the original video quality... but the files will be small.

I think youtube use to let you download the video and keep it on your computer.

there was a pop up that would happen when you put the curser on the video. But for the past 2 years or so now, I have never seen a way to download them. But maybe there is a way, because there still seems like a few new copies out there on new stuff.

i think too many people were downloading the videos , changing them a bit and putting them back on as theirs.

I'd like to know if there is a way to download too.
