For YouTube videos, I use savefrom.net
I used to use it as well, but it doesn't seem to work for me anymore. :(

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.

My old websites, KeepVid & SaveFrom, don't seem to work anymore, with YouTube at least. :mad:
Why not just contact the uploader and ask if they can give you a url for the download?

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

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.

I use FF59 for personal browsing, because I don't like to be coupled to Google 247, especially when I spend much of my leisure time on YouTube. With FF, I use the following downloaders: Flash Video Downloader, Flash and Video Download, and YouTube Video and Audio Downloader. I use Flash Video Downloader the most and if I want to download from YouTube, or even Putlocker, GoMovies, or any other website, I typically get what I want.

I also lost access to some real gems after the CP database update. Chris is sitting on a treasure of punchlines :)

Breaking the law! Judas Priest - Breaking The Law - YouTube[^]
What if the law explicitly grants me the right to do it? Lov om opphavsrett til åndsverk m.v. (åndsverkloven) - 2. kapittel. Avgrensning av opphavsretten og forvaltning av rettigheter ved avtalelisens - Lovdata[^] §12 opens with (in my very amateurish, un-authorized translation): When not done for profit, single copies of a published work may be made for private use. Such copies may not be used for any other purpose. ... There are a number of restrictions, such as you cannot set up a service to do the copying for others. For a few clases of works (architecture, electronic games, ...) you do not have this right to created copies. But for movies / music (and other sound, such as audio books and radio plays), you have this explicit right to make copies. You cannot demand a copy, though: The rights holder may apply whatever kind of copy protection to make it difficult for you make a copy; you cannot complain about that. But if you succeed in making a copy, for private non-commercial use, without breaking any of the restricitons, the rights holder cannot sue you.

Or, you can just watch the video on YouTube like the rest of us. :doh:

It started with books: Again and again, when I wanted to buy a copy of one of my favorite books as my gift to a friend, it was "out of print". (That's a much bigger problem in a small language, like Norwegian with about 5 mill native speakers, than in English.) So nowadays, I buy a couple extra copies of my most valuable books, so that I have them available as gifts even when out of pring. I started buying DVDs before video streaming was commonplace, and I still buy my movies on DVD/BD. Whenever I see lists of new movies available for streaming, I look through the list of discontinued movies, and brighten up every time I can say: Fortunately, that movie is still available in my bookshelf! (It happens all the time.) A number of movies, documentaries etc. are not available on DVD/BD; the only way to see them is on internet - usually for a limited time. If they were available, I would have bought them. I download them to make sure they are as permanently available as if I had bought a physical copy. Several times, I have had a downloaded copy for a couple of years when the movie finally comes out on DVD/BD, and I buy a physical copy. Sometimes I am too late: Last Friday, I watched on YouTube a great concert with a favorite group of mine, deciding that I would preserve it. It was late at night, so I postponed it until Saturday. On Saturday, the concert was taken off YouTube due to copyright violations. A significant number of YouTube video copies I've got are no longer available online; sometimes there are copyright issues, but most often they are simply gone. I am happy to have my own copies. Also, my own copies can be played where I do not have an internet connection. That happens quite often, when vacationing, when visiting friends etc. I show a lot of my movies to a friend who has an internet connection, but not where we watch movies (in another house on the property). I am in the planning stage for a home movie theater, and I still haven't seen any good reason for installing an internet connection there (it is unsuitable for wireless). So I will continue moving physical copies from my PC to my movie player.

I'm sorry, I did not read your post. Too many words. It is also a little disturbing to me at least, that you are dumping your brain onto the screen like this, over such a trivial thread.

Thats a neat app! Thanks :)
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
Thank you! :) /ravi
