    My old websites, KeepVid & SaveFrom, don't seem to work anymore, with YouTube at least. :mad:

      I've found that browser plugins always leave you wanting in some way, so I'm using this application: [YouTube Downloader - Has Never Been So Easy! | MP3 & MP4](https://www.youtubebyclick.com)

          Technically, it's against YouTube T&C's - which is why they stop working, I assume - so asking for a replacement on a site for professional developers is probably malicious behaviour ...

                  Careful. YouTube could give you a strike. Three strikes, and you're out! I use DVDFab to create backups of videos on youporn youtube.

                    I feel there is no longer the need to download YouTube videos. Being always online, just watch it there, on YouTube.

                          That is until the video gets removed. Besides, what if I want to take a video and edit it. The whole motivation for my post is that I want to download the video of the dog saluting Hitler, but want to trim it down to the few seconds where the dog is actually saluting.

                              Hmmm, maybe some videos are more touchy than others. I use it multiple times per day for both work and personal.

                                Could not parse the Youtube page for URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYslEzHbpus[^] This may be due to a change of the Youtube page structure.

                                  Why not just contact the uploader and ask if they can give you a url for the download?

                                      My favorite place to go to download videos is OffLiberty. It is simple, quick and easy to use. All you do is go to the site, paste in a URL, like a YouTube URL, then click the button and off it goes! Offliberty - evidence of offline life[^]

                                        Yeah, those were my formative years, when people were first learning that they really might want to consider fearing me. :) I think my favorite memory was the dude that insulted himself to save me the trouble. I think he posted an article about the Koran/Quran/whatever. It was way back when CP first introduced the idea of registered users. I've tried to find it again, but to no avail. Only Chris has the keys to that particular vault.
