Anyone know how to copy off youtube?
I think I'm in love with KT Turnstall!

I use a site called keepvid.com. There is a javascript line that you can bookmark to your links folder. You then click it when you're on a google video/youtube page, and it brings you to keepvid and gives you a DL link. Just right click/save target as, and rename it to "(whatever).flv", and save. DL it twice and keep the larger file (sometimes the DL is only the first second or so...). To convert the flv to an avi get a program called "super". You can then use any DVD authoring program to make a DVD. If you have a DivX player you can just put the outputed avi on a data DVD/CD and play it directly.

Google videos actually DL as avi's IIRC, but you have to get a program called "Gvi2Avi" to remove the google header info.

KeepVid code: "javascript:document.location='http://keepvid.com/?url='+escape(window.location);" create a shortcut under "links" in favorites, cuting/pasting everything in the ""s as the address

Super: http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html

I tried the above w/ google video and it didn't work, so here's the DL GV code I've got (and kept, thank goodness

):

DL Google Video code: "javascript:if(document.getElementById('macdownload link')!=null){window.location.href=document.getEle mentById('macdownloadlink')}else{alert('Go%20to%20 Google%20Video%20to%20download%20videos%20as%20AVI .')};" create a shortcut under "links" in favorites, cuting/pasting everything in the ""s as the address

Gvi2Avi: http://www.free-codecs.com/Gvi2Avi_download.htm

Both super and gvi2avi are free BTW

I found another alternative for getting Youtube files on my computer.
I like the fact I can save the files as video or if I just want the audio, I can save it as an mp3 file.
It's $15 & works on Mac or PC.
Here's the link to their site where you can download a free trial version.
