Question

Can somebody explain me the easier way (without becoming a member of the downloading site) to copy Youtube clips on my desk. I used Zamzar for a few years but it is not allowed any more.

I use Firefox and have used several browser extensions that download flash video. That works for YouTube, Vimeo, Daily Motion, clips4sale, X Videos, etc. The extensions are available for free right in Firefox. Just search the extensions for "download flash video."

I run a Linux OS now, which can play .flv videos natively but when I used Windows I used a free program called Super that could convert formats. It was also handy to be able to download .flv videos of music from YouTube, then use Super to convert them to .mp3 for listening on an mp3 player or burning to an audio disc.

Savetube works well just copy and paste the link and click the vid button.

It saves them in .flv or .mp4 formats which most players can handle nowadays.

If you want a standalone program that can also convert them to .wmv, like I use, try Replay Media Catcher.

Thanks, Dendrin, but it didn't work. I've copy a Youtube link and pressed the vid button, the page has disappeared a few second and then came back with nothing more. Do you think I should install Java as mentionned? Or perhaps it is because I use a Mac...

I've tried with a PC today, and it works. Thanks for your help.
