Keep the video you watch
 

If any of you guys see a video online that you want,while you are watching it open up a new tab and go to http://keepvid.com/ . copy the url of the video you are watching into the website and you can save it to your computer

Hmmm interesting
 

I was watching a Youtube video the other night and wanted to save it to my computer but was unable to figure out how. Is keepvid.com the answer?

yes! it saves the video as a quicktime file on your computer. you can convert it after you save it

You MIGHT want to give this a try. It on RARE occasion tells you the server is too busy. All videos end up on your PC in the FLV file format so do a Google search for a free FLV viewer, next. You have to copy/paste the YouTube link into the URL dialog box:

http://vixy.net/

I use You-ripper. Its free and it saves it as a FLV file.

The latest free RealPlayer (v. 11) can save and play flash (flv) videos off websites, too. I use it all the time.

I know another site:

kcoolonline.com :ping:
You can also convert .flv files into .wmv so you could skip over some footage unlike viewing in .flv, it makes things a little screwy. :rock:

If you want to view it in .flv or .wmv, VLC media player is recommended. :up:

This little doodad (a javascript bookmarklet) works in Firefox and Internet Explorer to add a link on a Youtube page to allow you to download the video as an MP4.
