Can I download videos to watch later?

No, currently you can't download our videos to your computer. YouTube's video player is designed to be used within your browser as an Internet experience. As an alternative to downloading, you can temporarily save videos to watch later by adding them to your QuickList. If you'd like to save them more permanently, login and click "Save to Favorites" under the videos you'd like to keep.

However, by doing a Google search for "YouTube Download," there appear to be many applications which claim to do this for you. I have never used any of them, and advise caution.

Thanks, I figured they would make it hard. With all things computer where there is a will there is a way.

You can also embed YouTube videos in other web sites, so if your goal is to repost a YouTube video elsewhere you might find that approach more useful. That way you're using their bandwidth and disk space, too.

lol, bettina the pirate.

 

i think you can do it with VLC by saving the stream or something. can't remember the exact method.

I do it all the time too, its not that hard.

certain web sites can rip the files but they record them as a rare filetype. in my opinion the best video player is a korean program called kmplayer. it is a similiar program to winamp. it will play all filetypes, from DVD to realplayer to quicktime to wmv. its the only video player i have installed on my computer and it will play those files recorded from youtube by the websites that rip them.

If you get a Firefox browser, you can download an add-on called Unplugg, and it rips any media off of a webpage. I only use it for Flash movies, but I'm sure it works for YouTube movies as well. Also, it's free. Just go to the Mozilla site.

Isn't kmplayer just the standard KDE media player?

I use Audacity when I just want the audio from youtube vids... this is useful for music videos.

Thanks I am glad I am finally out of the dark.

Guys, seriously.

 

Have you expressly accepted the YouTube TOS? I haven't.

 

Federal court precedent (in the US) regarding deep linking to-date has supported deep linking and has not upheld an implicit acceptance of accepting TOS by accessing a resource on a web server. As far as US law is concerned the TOS applies to those who have expressly accepted it, i.e. those who have signed up for an account.

 

In the UK YMMV, but here the court precedent is in favor of deep linking.

[insane_alien]

youtube has a terms of use?

 

anyway, they're sending a copy of the data to me. it's in my cache when i watch one of the videos. i just have an extensive permanent cache

[Innit]

Here's how you can do it:

 

Go to Javimoya.com

Get the youtube link.

Enter the link into the correct field, and select youtube as the video hoster.

Click on the download button and wait for the download to begin.

You will need an FLV player to play the videos.

 

Alternatively you can download a plugin for Firefox that can download the video when you are viewing it. Just search firefox video downloader on Google and you should find the plugin...

 

Hope that helps
