Can you download video from you tube? And if you can, how?

Answer 1

To download videos from YouTube and any other site :
Get Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
And then install the Download Helper extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3006/ or this one Video Downloader https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390
It works great for me.

Since the videos are in the .flv format you need to get a flv player. You can get a very good one (and completely free ) here http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10505954.html?tag=tab_pub

If you want to convert them into another format ( mobile phone, iPods,psp,wmv, mp4...and anything else) use this awesome free program called Super http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

Also you can use this site http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php and copy/paste the url's from the page with the video there but personally I'd recommend using Firefox

Firefox is the best !!!

And for movies and anything else use http://www.torrentportal.com/ and http://www.bittorrent.com/ and http://www.torrentspy.com/
To download from this site you need a torrent program like these :
BitComet http://www.bitcomet.com/ or
Azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

Answer 2

There are softwares which can do it.Just search in google.
but you don't need software actually. Here is a great solution:

First, go to http://keepvid.com/
1. Choose the site you want to download from.(say you tube)
2. Copy the link of the page(you will see url in each youtube video) with the video on it and paste it in the textbox above.
3. If you download an flv file, you need an FLV player.
Easy!

Another solution is to use Opera or firefox browser. Opera has a widget and firefox has an extension to download such video.

Answer 3

VideoDL is a quick AJAX application that allows you to download online video into your computer. It supports top 3 video sites - YouTube, Google Video, and Break.com. Simply copy the link of the page with video and paste it into the textbox. Click "Get It!" and follow the instruction. After you have saved the files into your harddrive, make sure the extension of the file is .flv for Flash Player to recongize.
