How to get the file from You Tube Videos

Oh boy!!

Firefox is the shiznit!!

If you see a You Tube Video that you would like to rip the file from and keep. Here are some tips.

Thank you Gary Krasner and Ricardo for this info.

Some nifty little tips …

These websites hide the link to the location of the video, so they can keep the video and force you to visit their website whenever you want it view it. But this plugin defeats that. These plug-ins and programs enables you to use that video and edit it etc...

Step 1. You need Firefox. Internet Explorer is no good.

Use Firefox for everything as IE is a closed browser. It doesn’t let you do all the nifty things. Make sure it’s the latest update, under Help>Check for Updates

Step 2. Now for the plug-ins...
I used this. It's called Greasemonkey... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

Make sure you open this link while in Firefox. You should see an INSTALL NOW button which is green.

After downloading that, close Firefox and re-open. It (Greasemonkey) should show under your Tools.


Greasemonkey is a script handler; you have to install something else. However, you need Greasemonkey either way.

http://www.openjs.com/scripts/greasemonkey/download_youtube_videos/
Under the Install Script, click on Download YouTube Videos.

Step 3. Downloading You Tube Videos...



Note: They have updated it, so when you see the Download Video link, you will need to direct click it, as opposed to right click, save as.

*If you do right click, save as, it will show as get_video.htm, which is a webpage. You want the actual video file itself instead of the .htm.


All those plug ins do is download a .flv file, which is unplayable until converted.

All videos used to download as a "getvideo.flv" file. Now it just downloads as get_video. Be sure to add the extension of .flv, after you download it, and change the name for what you just downloaded or else it will be a confusing mess BEFORE converting. Go to your download directory afterwards to change the name and add the extension. Adding the extension is important because you won’t be able to convert it, until you do.

Remember DIRECT click. This is the actual video file itself. This is what you DO want.


Mine downloads to the desktop by default. It may be different for everyone. Please note where it is saving to, while it is downloading...


When it is done, click on the x to exit out.


Move it to the directory you want after it's done, and then rename the file and add the .flv extension.

Note: If you’re using these to upload to Operator 11 for video shows, you won’t need to convert to another format, since they accept .flv files. They will play once they’re uploaded to your library there.

Step 4. The Converter:

I usually just convert to the Mp4 format with this http://www.videora.com/
Scroll down to converter and use the iPod Video Converter. http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/

Here’s the exact link… http://www.videohelp.com/~pspvideo9/videoraipodconverter_Installer.exe

You may have to update your .NET Frame, I had to. It’s part of your windows program.



I got a message that said. Your .NET Frame version: not found "Required Version 2.0.5. or greater".



Would you like the installer to download the latest .NET Framework version from www.microsoft.com?
If your version is newer, press No.

So in order to use the converter, I had to press YES. So press YES, if you want the converter installed.

It will download and install and when it’s done and you click finish, then the converter will finish installing.





Step 5. Converting the .flv files to desired format:

Open Vidora. Convert Video File.



Select Mode:


Select Video:


Hit Select File and find the .flv file that you downloaded.


Choose your format. There will be a drop down menu and then hit Open:


Then hit One-Click Convert


This window will pop up and you will again chose the same file. Select Videos to convert, click open:


To keep the same window from popping up again, you would hit Start Converting instead.

Either way, the file converts to your desired format.

You file is now converting as you will see the Conversion in Progress screen:


The Vidora converter will more than likely put the converted video under this directory.
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\Converted Videos
There is a Browse button where you can choose another directory, if you like.

Now you wait for the video to convert.

Mine also opens up iTunes when it's done too. Mp4 files work with iTunes or Quicktime. There are other players they also work on.

If you choose other formats, or use different players, it will vary, depending on what player is your default for any given format.

You are now ready to download and convert You Tube Videos...

HAVE FUN!!

Firefox and Greasemonkey go like white on rice! Thats one of the reasons I love Firefox, IE........psst! I spit on u!

Now all we gotta do is find the script to get rid of these "ticked" ads in ImageShack.


In Firefox browser:


This one was in Explorer:

I found this

Which removes the ads from imageshack, but does not remove the yahoo ticker.

OMG! After all that above with visuals and all, there's even an easier way to get the get_video from You Tube.

This online thing can get the You Tube videos in Internet Explorer.

http://www.allscoop.com/get-video/

For all of those who like Internet Explorer, you can even use IE too. It works with Firefox or Explorer.

You still will need to add the .flv extension to it. In IE, you can actually add the .flv before downloading and change the name too, instead of afterwards. If you use Firefox even with above site, you still wait until AFTER it downloads to add the extension and change the filename.

I tried it this way in explorer and used my videora converter and it still works.

Geez, I don't know whether I feel really super smart or really super stupid right now, after all that. hahaha.
Who cares, right? At least we can get the darned things.

Here's another one which is similar to my step by step instructions.
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/tutorials/youtuberip/

You see? You Tube has reworked their code several times in response to these articles. They absolutely hate us.

Until recently, Entire movies and TV shows could be watched for free on YouTube. However, In an effort to curb copyright violations, YouTube recently limited video submissions on the site to only 10 min's.

I think the real reason is because of people waking up and all the documentaries such as Alex Jones, Len Horowitz, the Chemtrails Clouds of Death, and so forth.

I think Operator 11 is going to be a better resource eventually. Most are given at least 40 minutes to make a show or use a video. Super Operators are given an entire 90 minutes.

There are still some Google Videos out there floating around. I heard that You Tube bought out Google Video, because of the reason I mentioned above. They dont' want the truth of things getting out.

Google search on You Tube videos being saved.

Because the greasemonkey had quit working there awhile.

Click on the black box that says install this script. Just be sure you're in firefox when you do so. Only takes a couple of seconds.

YouTube H.264

Inserts links to high quality streams of Youtube videos, if they exist.
This script injects a link to a higher quality video stream below the Youtube video.

Screenshot (interface): http://zatic.net/youtube.h264.jpg
Screenshot (quality difference): http://zatic.net/screenshot.difference.jpg

Please post a link to videos where this script does not work, as this script is still being fine tuned.

Disclaimer: For some videos, the stream just won't start even though the script does not show an error.

Update (05 Mar 0: Rudimentary broken stream detection, download option implemented.

And if that don't work....

Thanks Donna.

You're absolutely right about Firefox, anyone still using IE should swap.

One tool I use frequently is the Down Them All! extension for multiple accelerated downloading.

This baby grabs all links on a web page or from an index directory. I use it for audio files mostly but you can use it on any direct links such as books and movies. I have had this downloading 10GB of content from a single page at rates of up to and over 1000kb/s


First install from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201




Now navigate to an Index page or use an Index search engine like g2p.org and right click > Down them all





In the Menu select specific files to download (or check them all), select save destination path and apply any necessary filters, such as mp3 if needed and click Start.




Happy Days

Mat

OMG!!! Thanks Mat!!

What about those files that are protected via a network password in order to download?

I'll alert Ricardo to this too, as I know he'll want to know about this tool.

I've heard it said that it can d/load Rapidshare tickets in a queue but you'll have to check up on that. It certainly is a very cool tool

Ermmm, God telling us something, is He?

God is telling us to use Firefox

LEFT pic: This was spotted in variable star V838 Monocerotis of the constellation Monoceros and, OMG, it looks like the Firefox logo!
Next we'll probably see a celestial body that looks like an iPod. I'll definitely be impressed when we see that.

Thank you Ricardo for sending this to me to post!
