Youtube downloader question
« on: July 26, 2010, 02:58:28 AM »
I was wondering what the best site is to go for youtube downloading.  I tried CNET but that didn't seem to work as well as youtubedownload.altervista.org and it didn't work either.  Any suggestions?

I use a shareware browser enhancement called CosmoPod (for Mac OS X) rather than a site.  You might consider something similar.

I use a little command line utility called youtube-dl, especially when I'm in one of my hardcore "pointy clicky is for commies" moods and I'm running OpenBSD.  :lol:

Some RSS downloaders handle YouTube better than others.  GPodder, Songbird, and Zune had some problems the last time I tried them, but Miro worked perfectly.

I absolutely have to recommend "DVD VIDEO SOFT FREE STUDIO". Here's a screenshot:


Its like 20 freeware programs in one, it doesnt hog resources, it lets you copy-paste mutiple URLs, etc.

I love the program.

http://www.downloadhelper.net/

This is the best.  It works for pretty much any flash-based video site, and that means porn too.

Was going to suggest this one myself.

Okay I probably should have been more specific-will any of these sites be able to download into a windows media player format?

I'm not sure...  Youtube uses Flash, not Windows Media, so you would have to convert it to get it to .wmv format.  I have never bothered because you can download VLC, which is free, and play .flv (flash video) files just fine.
