YouTube downloader

**anon** · 13.06.10, 01:07

Anyone knows a working one? I need a program (not site or Firefox addon) that can download videos directly from YouTube (without servers acting as proxies/converters).

Thanks in advance!

Replay Media Catcher
used this program a long time ago, it just allows you to download everything that you can see on your browser

now i just use:
KeepVid
it's an online service, alot more easy and fast

Internet Download Manager?

When you install it; you'll see a download button over youtube videos.

Although I feel you don't-want/know this.

KeepVid requires Java

I'll have a look at the other one...

I've uninstalled IE and the context menu thing doesn't seem to work with IE shells. Next

Because I don't use Firefox.

Which one are you talking about?

IDM.

from what i remember Replay Media Catcher works like packetyzer but for videos if you know what i mean

i guess that will solve your problem
it always worked for me

The "HD Downloader" I found seemed to work, but I'll have RMC in mind in case that stops working (which will eventually happen). I recall using it in the pass to download some Hulu videos, but was put off by having to look for a crack

So far I had been grabbing the files from Opera's cache, or using SmartSniff to capture and dump videos to a file, but got tired of it.

IDM is really great if you ask me, I also use VDownloader.

I use a greasemonkey script that works quite well!

YouTube Video Download for Greasemonkey

It even lets you chose which quality etc. I've tested a lot of programs and sites that claimed to do the same but this little script just outshines them all!

Since you don't use FF, works with Chrome etc too! :)

Doesn't seem to work with Opera 10.10. Did everything correctly and even tried removing the "@include" lines from the file, but the "Download" menu just wouldn't appear.

Why don't most good scripts work correctly in Opera, if at all?
