Author Topic: I found a nifty way to download YouTube videos.  (Read 959 times)

You just put this in your bookmarks as the URL, then you go to the page of the video you want and click the bookmark. It will take you right to the download page with a plethora of quality options.

Code: [Select]
javascript:function inbtwn(a,b,c){ try{ var a1 = a.split(b); var a2 = a1[1].split(c); return a2[0]; }catch(err){return '';} } function inbtwn2(a,b,c){ try{ var a1 = a.split(b); var a2 = a1[2].split(c); return a2[0]; }catch(err){return '';} } var src = document.body.innerHTML.toString(); if(window.location.toString().toLowerCase().match('youtube.com/')){ var v = inbtwn(src, 'video_id=', '&');var t = inbtwn(src, '&t=', '&');var fl = inbtwn(src, '&fmt_list=', '&');var title = inbtwn2(src, 'title=%22', '%22');if(title == ''){ title = inbtwn(src, '%3Ch1 id=%22vt%22%3E', '%3C'); };if(v != '' && t != ''){document.location='http://www.keepvid.com/?url=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'+v+'&vid='+v+'&tid='+t+'&flid='+fl+'&titleid='+title;}else{document.location='http://www.keepvid.com/?url='+escape(window.location);}}else{ document.location='http://www.keepvid.com/?url='+escape(window.location); }
It's really helpful, so I thought I'd share.

Or you can use that website that does it for you.

Its too long to remember.
Why not just use-
On the other hand mabey il try it rather than post about it.

That's what this does, smartass. But it's easier than copy/pasting the URL.

oh.

This is pretty neat, but I just use a Greasemonkey script that adds a download button and has quality/format options.

Yeah I tried a script to add a download button to the video page, but it doesn't show up. So I found this.

I use YoutubeDownloader. Its normal like the rest.
