How to download Youtube videos without any Third party software

Most of the time when you are trying to download videos from youtube either you have to use a third party software or you have to post the link to auto-download site which will download and convert it for you. The problem with these kind of software or third party sites are that they don’t always work if a video is flagged by google for adult content or for whatever reason.

Today we will download Flv format videos from youtube with a simple javascript.

First we will goto youtube and choose a video to play. I chose this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUX3CM1TMeY

It’s a video of Trinity using Nmap in Matrix Reloaded. While playing the video we we will add this site in to out favourites and we will edit the favourites properties with this javascript:

Or instead just go to http://vixy.net post the link and download. ;)

Quicker, and you don't have to sit there on the same page while downloading the video..

Also nice way to get a few hits to your website also.. :rolleyes:

And correct me if i'm wrong but this ain't much of a tutorial at all, the info you have posted is readily available on numerous other site's. ;)

*Moved from the Tutorials forum*

use opera web browser
find where it's cache4 is
it stores youtube as opXXXX.tmp
drag on to desktop (or where ever) change .tmp to .flv
play in your favorite player!!

>>>>>>> Or another fast and simple way... it to use "ZillaTube"

It's just one software but it downloads, and converts youtube video into excellent windows videos and other video formats.

by the way... it's at http://www.zillatube.com

mine is free as in beer though

wouldn't the firefox plug in for flash get work for this?

if you find a video that you want to download just type 'kiss' in front of youtube and it'll take you to a download page.

i.e.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNytWRgcJ-M
becomes
http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=UNytWRgcJ-M

I use a Firefox plugin, VideoDownloadHelper. Works like a charm and on other types of media too.

I use Videoraptor for downloading videos and mp3s from web sites and even from internet radios which can convert the files into the formats I need. It's very helpful cause I don't have to get 2 softs, one for downloading and one for converting the files.

Thanks SD - works great but now im capped from downloading every video I Like. Is there anyway to up the quality if you enlarge the size?

Not really sure what you mean cider?

Hey there SD -

Um basically if you download a youtube Video it is extremely small and making it large on your screen kind of makes it extremely blurry. I'm not the graphics design man so dont know much about this.

Basically enlarge the video to full screen while keeping the quality?

Ah.. That depends on the quality of the video that got posted. Some are compressed so much you loose quite a lot of quality.

I like to use vixy.net. This is because I can choose the formats that I want to download. So far, I have not encounted with any problems using the service. :)

I use this plugin also. When I want to capture full-length video from youtube or othersites, I use the above plugin. When I want to distribute the file as a DVD, I use avimux.

Do you have a suggestion for this site:

or

I'm using flash 10.26 for linux. The other sites you guys posted generate an error. I attempted to use vlc to grab the real url from the web source but it is not playing video or audio.

I really need this before Tuesday

From a Windows box I've been using:

http://keepvid.com/

Just paste in the youtube, etc URL and off it goes and downloads it for you.

Cheers,
DOHC.

it's a viral video :D

you should be able to view it using vlc or media player classic.. ;)

i nver thought to download youtube video. divx had it right though high quality with its own player that downloaded the video too

videoraptor has a feature which shows you the quality of the video you want to download before downloading it, so I always get only the vids with high quality.

I have been using Grabthatvideo.com for quite sometime. Their software is brilliant. They have simple instructions for you to follow on how to download YouTube videos.

It's free so nothing to worry about. :)

thank u

There are a few others rated better.

Ah.. That depends on the quality of the video that got posted. Some are compressed so much you loose quite a lot of quality.

add "ss" before your link youtube you want to download
