very confused: downloading youtube with urlsnooper?

(1/6) > >>

gongabong:
So, I'll probably be the most confused person you've ever met.   Im on a Windows Vista Dell Dimension, I downloaded urlsnooper a few days ago, and this is how far I've got in understanding:

First, I searched for a network adapter, and successfully found mine, clicked ok.
Opened the youtube page with the video i wanted to get in my browser...
started "sniff network"
played the youtube video
waited a few minutes
a whole bunch of URL results popped up under the Results list.

And now I'm completely confused at what to do next, more or less didnt understand the next step in the help section:

"· Drag URLs to targets, or right-click to copy to clipboard or launch 3rd party apps."

I'll give ya the youtube URL for the video in case ya need to know that:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3ez-bqJfg4

And when i type in the URL under the search space to clear out all the crap, its not there.  Am i looking for a wmv, flv, avi video file?

Buuuut, yeeaaah, no clue.   Any help? Please?

thanks,  hq

A lot of people seem to want to use Url Snooper for downloading YouTube videos.

The ironic thing is that downloading youtubes is simple and URL Snooper is really more useful for much harder cases.

Youtube videos use a special protocol, but it's not hard to download them.  you don't need url snooper.

If you want to record youtube videos there is a very good solution, use the firefox browser and get this addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006

(there are a few more firefox addons that also do it also)

Thanks for the quick reponse, very prompt.   Thing is I have the newest version of IE sooooo, I thought FireFox is a completely different browser, and idk about that.

But, is it possible anyways to use urlsnooper for youtube?  and how do u do so?

Carol Haynes:
If you don't want to use Firefox you can use VeohTV to download YouTube (plus video from many other sites too including Veoh itself). Download their player and install it and it adds a toolbar to Internet Explorer. Downloading YouTube videos is then a single click. VeohTV is a separate player that allows you to organise your downloaded clips into playlists and manage the content (so you can delete the clips from your computer just by deleting it in VeohTV player).

It isn't perfect but it isn't a bad solution to your needs.

The download link is at the bottom of the page on the right. See http://www.veoh.com/

If you want more info in Veoh (not from the Veoh website) have a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veoh

Denisol:
Just install the latest Real Player.  Each time to play a YouTube video a small tag pops up and asks if you want to record it.  With one click it is done.  All files are saved as .FLV files.

If you don't want to use Real Player, you can use http://keepvid.com/, which is almost as easy.
