I been having problems downloading FLV's from Utube and dailymotion. I used the one that is now part of Utube for downloading on it's site but it doesn't seem to work anymore, same for DailyMotion. I don't want to convert, just download, tried a few So called free managers, most just hijack my home page and don't work, or just download the advertisement before the video. Any Idea? TEDD tellme

I'd recommend this program:

http://www.youtubedownloadersite.com/

And this Firefox plugin:

https://addons.mozilla.or...don/video-downloadhelper/

I use the first 99% of the time, and it's great. It conked out for a bit, so I used the FF one there, then went back to YTD.

Recently I have started using free FF addon http://www.bestvideodownloader.com/, and found very intuitive in use, for the videos I downloaded from Youtube.

You may try it.

Anand

Renegade thanks for info but the first site is the one that Hijacked all my web pages and wouldn't download anything but the infomercials on utube or dailymotion, I should have said it's name but it might work foe someone else. The second is the one I've used for years and utube bought them out and I can't seem to get it to work with either anymore! Even from utube itsself Sad  But thanks again for reply.

anandcoral will check it out and see if it works for me, PS what does having a NANY badge mean? you have 2, does that mean you help Tech Noobs

That's odd. I always pay attention when installing software, and never install anything that is bundled, so I've never had a problem. It's working brilliantly for me still. Not sure why you'd have those problems there. Sad I started using it based on recommendations from some other DCers.

For the FF plugin, I've not updated it in a bit (a few weeks), and it's still working for me. I wasn't aware that they were bought out. Looking at the site, it doesn't look like it was bought out by Google. Testing it again, and it's still working... Not sure what's up there.

Anyways, there are lots out there. Hopefully someone's suggestion works out for you.

I use the KeepVid bookmarklet and it works really well.  Never had an issue with it and it cuts out the ads for me as well.

keepvid and in the upper right corner of the page it will let you drag it to your browser.

+1. I use the same. It will download most videos 99% of the time. For the times it doesn't DownThemAll usually does the trick. DTA is also better for getting large full-length videos.

Can 'you' get the video from http://www.cmt.com/videos...k/828913/death-trap.jhtml ? (not the will-i-am commercial, but the Charlie Peacock video) because I can't, but would like to. ♥

edit:
never mind, I've found a better resolution version on YouTube:

Firefox add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/

Video DownloadHelper 4.9.13
The easy way to download and Web videos (.flv) from hundreds of YouTube-like sites.
This works also for audio and picture galleries.
I try this one and it's very goood.
If you want to convert the flv files to a more common format like, you may also check this source: .flv to .mp4

  I pretty much gave up on all those vid-downloaders, they work for a while until youtube (and others) changes things, or they're loaded with adware.

  Now I use VideoCacheView.  Now I don't have to download the same video twice, first time watching it, second time downloading it.  With VideoCacheView, you watch all the movies you want, then run VideoCacheView, select the vids that you want to keep, and it copies them to the folder you choose.

I both agree and disagree. Many videos are available in much higher resolution than the auto-played one, especially if it was on facebook. So, as an example, I watch a 640 pixels version, but want to keep the 1920 pixels version - which is not in the cache.

  Which ever one you watch is in the cache.  You have to change it to the resolution that you want while your watching it, then it will be in the cache.
