Saving Youtube videos to HDD?

Hitman · 02-21-08, 02:55 PM

I might be retarded or something similar, but I can't figure out how to save the Youtube videos I like to my HDD

Is it possible at all? Can some kind soul tell me how??

Thanks

Youtube has no official save feature to prevent their lawsuits from growing bigger and the site being used as a filesharing server for videos.

Ahh I see. Anyway, since I'm interested only in saving certain user-made videos with no copyright I'm still on the legal side. Thanks both!

Do you use Firefox? If so, I use and like the extension UnPlug.

Firefox has a Video downloader that downloads the .FLV file that the video's are formatted to. THere use to be a how to on youtube...but that got nuked for obvious reasons

Im tempted to try and save all my video's that I have created to a dvd, I no longer have the files so I would have to download from Youtube. Not really planning on it, but if I start getting better ones, i will do it for the fun
