Save your Youtube videos to your hard disk



There are maybe over a 100 ways of doing this, but this is the real dummy way (dummy means ‘somone’ who doesn’t know much)


You need two software’s for proper working:
Quicktime :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html (i would say download the one with iTunes even if you don’t have an ipod, it helps better organizing)
A converter:
http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/guides/dvd/convert-YouTube-FLV-video-to-iPod-MP4-video.htm (from da site download the youtube to ipod converter)


  • Install both the above software, open the converter software
    Goto youtube

  • Take the page of the video you want.

  • On that page there will be a box named URL.

  • Copy the link in dat box and take the converter software.

  • Paste it in the ‘Input File or Youtube Video’. In the output field , you know what you should do (if you don’t, wat can i say). The ‘Devices’ and ‘Presets’ lists are for tweaking quality, just play around with them the way you want to.

  • Click ‘Convert’. Open File and view your video.

  • Hopefully it plays. Don’t blame me if it doesn’t. :d
