Saving Youtube videos as video format, NOT html format

[Dewgong Reign]

HOW?

RealPlayer.

*facepalm* Use KeepVid. It rocks. Choose MP4.

 

[1337R34P3R]

even better, use YouTube Downloader. it's got one of the most versatile convert tools i've ever seen.

 

[Valdez]

Keepvid, YouTube Downloader, or Zamzar. Take your pick.

There are also a variety of plugins for firefox that will do that for you.

 

[Rоulette Goddess]

try aTube Catcher. it's a program that you install on your computer directly. you can download videos from sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, Google, MySpace...

 

[Dewgong Reign]

Is it free?

This is what I use. Save the link as a toolbar on your internet and when you watch a video, save it as an MP4.

You can download the free Real Player or the Craving-Explorer.

For Real Player, after installation, you will see a download button on all youtube videos, you can just click it.

For Craving-Explorer, it can change the videos to a bunch of different formats as you like, such as .avi , etc.
You open Craving-Explorer, and then enter the URL of the youtube page, press download without format change, or download and change to whatever format you like.

Download Craving-Explorer here http://www.crav-ing.com/

You're saving the webpage, not the video. It really depends on what kind of video they embedded and how exactly they did it.

You might want to go looking through the source (View, Page Source) or by opening the Page Info window and clicking on the Media tab (Tools, Page Info).

^ I love that. I use it all the time. :drool:

YouTube Downloader is a good choice as it also converts the stuff you download. You could also use ReAlPlayer to download from other sites.

There is also a website I used to use: http://online.movavi.com/
It can convert the video and then it lets you download it. Or you could just download it and convert it yourself.

I agree with KeepVid. I've been using that for about a year and it's wonderful.

I've also used a free downloadable program called Any Video Converter, which you can download videos from YouTube, Google Video and probably some others (I've also found that sometimes you can program it to convert it to an .Avi file while it downloads the .mp4 version as well . . . it's like two for the price of one!). Sometimes it'll act up, but it still works well if you wish to convert .flv or .mp4 files to something more comfortable. I recommend trying it out. (I think I found it somewhere around here!)

The new RealPlayer SP also has a video converter. And it's free.
