You can now save your favorite videos from YouTube to your hard disk by using youtube-dl, a small command-line program to download videos from YouTube. Well, its not a very user friendly way of downloading videos, more of a geek thing.
The software will download and save the video into your hard drive in .flv format. Which mean you need a VLC Media Player to watch the video, nope – the .flv file do not work with Windows Media Player. For your information, VLC Media Player is a very solid and reliable player, it is able to play most of the video out there, and if you happen to have problem playing certain DVD on your comp. VLC is the answer to your problem. The best part is its open source.
Keepvid.com can direct download videos from Google Video, YouTube, IFilm, Putfile and various other sites. It is by far the best online download resource center.
Okay, after downloading the video in .flv format, how do you convert it to normal mpeg format? Simple, use Cinema Forge, its a freeware and like all open source programs. Its fast and stable.
YouTube is a great way of sharing videos online, and from what I’ve last read. They seems to have problem securing investor, meaning to say that no one is willing to pump in money. YouTube seems to be in deep trouble, the only way to fight the might 800-lb Google is to include short advertisement in every video. Are you guys at YouTube listening?
