- I have now had the opportunity to actually try the Better YouTube scripts, and I mostly think good of it.

When you arrive the video you want to see, you will see a different layout than before, because Better YouTube comes with a flash player of it's own, I can assure that you will like this one better:

When you click "Download this video", you will quickly be taken to this page where you can choose which video version to get, Normal FLV, HQ FLV, or HQ MP4. If you don't choose within 3 seconds it will start to give you the low Q version. The bottom button is the one I would want, HQ MP4 Stereo version (HQ Flash is 2xMono, not stereo).

I have not yet figured out how to stop it from starting downloading the low quality version, but I guess there is a trick that will sort it out. Other than this, I am very excited about Better YouTube.  :up:

Re-reading the thread I only now realize what a terrible lack it has:

Video Download Helper was and is by far the (second-) easiest way (after RealPlayer) to get a video from YouTube.
