YouTube Videos.

Hey guys,

I was wondering, is there anyway at all to download the videos off YouTub?

Many thanks!

If you have firefox there are plugins which you can get which allow you do download the vids. VideoDownloader, Ook? Video Ook! or my personal favourite, DownloadHelper.

The vids will be in *.flv format so you could use flv Player or use a video converter.

Thank you,

I have heard of software being able to rip videos off of YouTube to an iPod but not download them.

You could use flv player, but its pretty pants so id recommend that you converted them into mpg or avi or something.

About this service:
This service allows you convert a Flash Video / FLV file (YouTube's videos,etc) to MPEG4 (AVI/MOV/MP4/MP3/3GP) file online. It is using a compressed domain transcoder technology (outline in Japanese). It converts FLV to MPEG4 faster and less lossy than a typical transcoder.

VLC plays them just fine.

it seems to be down at the moment mind, anf I've not used it, so I don't know how safe it is, I was told about it by a friend who used it though.

Videora does this, but saves the youtube vids as well to where you want.
