PAK says on January 18th, 2006 at 12:08 pm

It makes me download getfile.php… instead of the original video file…

jonel says on January 18th, 2006 at 4:48 pm

CHoPPa says on January 19th, 2006 at 1:20 pm

The files are flash video files and you have to rename the getfile.php to [name].flv.

For anyone else trying this out, the developer’s site seems to be down.

silentkiller says on February 27th, 2006 at 8:09 pm

Save the hassle of downloading new softwares/plugins just to download the flash video.

Save YouTube Videos directly to your PC using http://www.fileleecher.com !

Download video from youtube, googlevideo and ifilm at http://www.bestube.com, it also features video ranking and personal collections.

zfreez says on March 26th, 2006 at 7:13 pm

You can download YouTube video at http://zfreez.com
The downloaded files will be in .flv format you don’t need to rename or anything.

ed says on May 1st, 2006 at 9:56 pm

Eh!
At may 1st this script not works.
Appears the 500 error and can’t download the video file
Can anymore help me?

p says on May 24th, 2006 at 6:31 pm

Is it just me or has the grease monkey script stopped working after that last major update on You Tube. It worked fine until the last month or so. When you click the link it takes you to a blank page now and won’t download.

camilo says on May 28th, 2006 at 5:53 pm

it’s something to do with the filetypes, Keepvid.com has overcome the problem and now it saves as htm

Darren says on May 30th, 2006 at 11:51 pm

melv says on July 8th, 2006 at 10:20 am

how do i change it to flv file??

when i choose save as, they only let me choose as All Files or hmt.

tnarik says on July 13th, 2006 at 5:23 pm

you can also try Ook? Video Ook!, a Firefox extension which finds the titles of the videos and use them (and the appropiate file extension) to generate the file name.

fddfdf says on July 23rd, 2006 at 7:06 pm

is there any way to download videos from youtube if you have internet explorer?

tnarik says on July 29th, 2006 at 10:54 am

You can use websites such as videodownloader.net, keepvid.com and others.

you should check out http://www.youtubia.com it’s a full youtube clone that let you search and DOWNLOAD the video to your PC

Christian says on September 18th, 2006 at 9:25 am

Check this out:

It’s a standalone application instead of a script that runs on a remote web site! You can download videos locally and watch them using your browser and flash!

Dave says on September 24th, 2006 at 11:56 am

If using YoutubeX or KeepVid; change GET_VIDEO to the name of the video followed
by .mpeg instead of .flv and no conversion is needed. Media plyers than cannot play
Flash videos will these mpegs.

mario says on September 27th, 2006 at 1:44 pm

clipnabber.com is also a nice site for downloading videos. it’s not on those crappy cookie cutter scripts and it has a nice interface

Don Singleton says on October 4th, 2006 at 7:07 pm

I downloaded Michelle’s YouTube Goes Dhimmi.flv both with Greasemonkey and with http://www.videodl.org/

In both cases I got the same length 4,342kb, but clicking on either gives Macromedia Flash Player 8 but it does not play anything

Nils says on October 17th, 2006 at 8:30 pm

Freeware VLC Mdia player will play FLV files.

This is a web interface you can use to download videos. It is being improved very frequently.

Just paste the YouTube address and either wait or click the screenshot of the video that will appear. When you have downloaded the video file, look for it where you have just saved it and if it is named something like “get_file” just rename it to “myVideo.flv” (note the .flv at the end — Very Important!!!).

ALSO (and very important) the explanation of how it exactly works is being updated sometimes each 2 or 3 days.

If somebody wants to buy the actual script (PHP) it costs $25. Anyway, the explanation of the logic could be far enough to get it manually done.

You can also use it in an IFRAME or frame, or as a link, in this way:

Crazy Downloader says on January 7th, 2007 at 8:28 am

Guyz, you can download YouTube Videos by using standalone simple software (program) named “iTube” with 2,11 MB file size. (http://www.benjaminstrahs.com/itube.php) And after downloading video, the program will automatically convert it into (extension) .mp4 file that prepared for your iPod and iTunes. A little simple program but COOL..!!!

I found a tool named TubeHunter at http://www.neoretix.com which downloads videos from YouTube, MySpace, Metacafe, Pornotube, Dailymotion, Break.com, VSocial, Grouper, iFilm, Flurl, Bebo and Photobucket, and saves them on your computer or directly to your iPOD.

All downloaded videos can be converted by TubeHunter to other video formats including MPEG, MPEG4 AVI, iPOD MP4, MOV, Flash SWF, M4A, PSP, MP3, WAV, OGG, 3GP and 3G2.

Chinese provider says on January 27th, 2007 at 5:18 pm

it is a great information, by for those who use internet explorer, is that any script that add on in to browser and download it ?

TheDarkman says on January 30th, 2007 at 5:11 am

Those scripts are good if you want to download a couple of videos, but if you are on someone favorites page, with 20 thumbnails, if you want to download the 20 videos you would open each page manually and then click on the download link added by your current mozilla script. This is time consuming and boring. This new script named Thumbs2Links will add a link on the top of the favorites/playlist/uservideos page called “Get direct links” (replacing the old “Upload” link).If you click on it you will get 20 direct links on the bottom of the thumbails page so you can download all the 20 vids without opening each page, this saves a lot of time. Get it here http://thedarkman.altervista.org/indexen.html

*MiZzTurQuoiZe* says on January 31st, 2007 at 11:19 pm

I use Internet Explorer and didn’t want to have to download any programs to get YouTube videos. So, I vivited the different websites (YouTubeX.com) and others but none of them seemed to work for me. I gave up on that idea, and decided to just try several programs, downloaded them on my computer, and they still wouldn’t function properly. Finally, iTube was the only one from the bunch that worked and its the simplest. It really does do all the work for you!

Darren says on February 2nd, 2007 at 9:48 am
