or use Video Downloader plugin, if u r using Firefox.
I tried…didnt work for me.
hein??It works wonders for me.Been using it since last 4 months or so.Works for pretty much every video site like youtube,metacafe etc( except quicktime.)
video downloader didnt work for me either…
right click & save link…and use the browsers download manager.If it still doesn’t work try Ook? Video Ook! plugin.
how come it didn’t work for u guys? which part didn’t work?
Well…even if it does…I don’t like to bog down my system with too many add-ons. Every time there’s a major upgrade in the browser, you’ll need an update on the add on too. And then again…its browser dependent. Since I don’t download videos too frequently on youtube…this option works better. And then again…it isn’t exactly a standalone thing. Whenever you click on it, it connects to an external server (opens a popup), and logs on your url to it. Anyone with access to that server, has access to your browser (and hence your computer).
hmm..btw guys , how can we get the original resolution of the video posted on youtube.If I download say, an episode of a sitcom aired on Youtube,I get just an “X2” size of the window.The original video in this case must be definitely bigger(right?).How can I get that?
Well…can u get original resolution image from what you post on flickr…or even on multiply? They are optimized (read downgraded) for least bandwidth/storage consumption.
just downloaded Ook and it works great! the best thing abt it is the one click download option.
@sid
downloaded the flv player frm the link u suggested… plays really well but it gets resized to a very small window… any other player u suggest?
also is there any way to download videos from dailymotion?
Use the converter to convert to mpeg and watch it on any player of your choice.
Try http://www.keepvid.com . It seems to work for everything. You’ll get a .flv file, which you can convert as explained above.
Many other such sites available online. Just search on google.
thanks sid! 🙂
coma, u talking about the size as small as we find on Youtube.The max we get is double the size what we see on youtube.
hmmm not a single gal in this thread. hmmmmmmm….
yeah raptor.. as big as the one we find on youtube… but really good clarity…
i use FLVPlayer… which player do u use?
Rofl@choc. Thanks for your representation:D

*goes back to polishing her nails*
I use FLV player when Youtube comes into pic since I use the Video downloader plugin.
I have a peculiar problem with my Firefox.I’ll reply again today in detail after a few hours.I need ur (the dudes I meant) help.
there s a similar plugin for IE as well…not sure what its called.you can try that if your firefox is still giving you trouble
