download videos from internet/youtube

[Dirtybird12]

<p>is there a way to download videos from&nbsp; youtube.com / internet?</p>

I remember hearing that some guy was getting sued by youtube because he made software that lets you do this.&nbsp; I can't remember what it was called.

[AKA]

There's a great free downloard program called &quot;Tube Sock&quot; that quickly and easily downloads any You Tube video from flash into a movie file (mp4, I think) - as of last summer, it was only for Macs, tho.

<p><a href="http://www.clipnabber.com/">http://www.clipnabber.com/</a></p><p>works really good and nothing to download just use the site to get your videos. You do need to convert your files from .flv</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.download.com/Replay-AV/3000-2169_4-10623413.html?tag=lst-0-5">http://www.download.com/Replay-AV/3000-2169_4-10623413.html?tag=lst-0-5</a></p><p>replay works great too, you need to download it and it says its a demo version so you dont get to download large files, it also has a converter built in, but you can only convert video up 1:30 not the video.</p><p>Thats a question I have for you people. Does anyone have a good converter software? Something that will convert 5 or 6 minutes of a .flv file to windows media viewing file?</p>

Sure. You can even increase the resolution and a bunch of other hacks with the info here http://lifehacker.com/software/exclusive-lifehacker-download/better-youtube-firefox-extension-319925.php . Most look like they're only for Firefox, but there's other good info there too.

I have a program called "Media Cell Video Converter that works great for converting videos to put on my phone, but I have a problem. It won't convert any of the video that I've edited with Windows Movie Maker (I'm guessing that makes them WMV). Anyone know of a free converter to make WMV into MP4?

For firefox:

DownloadHelper is a tool for web content extraction. Its purpose is to capture video and image files from many sites.

Just surf the Web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item

For instance, if you go to a YouTube page, you'll be able to download the video directly on your file system. It also works with MySpace, Google videos, DailyMotion, Porkolt, iFilm, DreamHost and others.

When you are on a page containing links to images or movies, you can download some or all of them at once. Moving the mouse over the items in the menu will highlights the links directly in the page to make sure they are the ones you want to pick up.

DownloadHelper also allows you to download files one by one, so that you keep bandwidth to surf for other stuff to download.
