I’m sure that this can be done. I really need to rip some videos from youtube.
Is there a program that makes it really easy? Do I even need one?
How do I get a video from youtube onto a flash drive in a format that can be played in windows media?
Help me out here guys.
(if you’re afraid that someone’s going to think you’re a computer nerd just pm me some instructions and your secret is safe with me)
There’s a plugin for firefox called downloadhelper ( I believe, I can double check when I get home ). You can rip vids from tons of sites with it, I use it all the time.
Edit: Most likely it’ll be in FLV format, which I don’t think WMP can run, so you might also need an FLV converter to format it to AVI or mpeg.
I’ve got adobe captivate. I was thinking of recording the screen when it’s at full screen, then I can readily convert them to whatever, but I’m afraid that the quality will suffer.
RealPlayer™ pops up a box on the top of youtube vids saying “Do ya wanna download this.” or something.
There’s a freeware program called “format factory” that will convert different video formats into whatever format you like.
Google, download, rip away.
EDIT. I just tried it. Unfortuanately, it looks like realplayer no longer does that - maybe youtube changed its format or something.
I am watching youtube via proxy of Vtunnel however - youtube’s a banned site in Turkey - so it might still work via a direct connection, I don’t know.
How about you do it my way instead, because my way is the best way. And I’m totally objective and unbiased.
Ok I’ll do that.
…in case that didn’t work:
www.zamzar.com – You can use Zamzar to convert You Tube videos to a format you can use. Copy the You Tube link. Go to Zamzar and click on Download Videos. Then paste the link into the step one box. In step 2, choose avi. as your format. Then give them your email in step 3, click on convert and wait. It will prompt you to check your email. It can take between a few minutes to 6 hours to receive the email. I don’t know if this works for porn too.
