- verifex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Or, you can just use VideoDownloader: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/
I know the blog mentions this, but since VideoDownloader saves the files as FLV you can watch them whenever you like just like AVI files as long as you have the Flash Player installed. In other words, you don't NEED to convert the FLV files to AVI to watch them :) - thestorey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15http://www.keepvid.com now go away.
- wild, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20I love people who think every article posted on Digg is read by every user. I also love people who assume every user on Digg is a technology savant.
- canewediggit, on 10/12/2007, -7/+20in almost a year of time on digg i have NEVER blocked anyone no matter how outrageous, stupid, uninformed, or juvenille their comments were. diggfan, congrats for popping my cherry. *****.
- Lokix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11It's called keepvid.com, guys. Much easier than this.
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Some of us work for a living and cant really read every article in Digg.
- pandlcg, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11How come when i click digggfan's name it says "invalid user provided"? Does that mean that Digg banned him?

Yep, he's been banned twice already today. Can't wait to see what his next username will be. What an ass. - Emerica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5http://www.flvstorm.com More *working* sites, 97 at the moment.
- jb347, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4*flame suit on* Why would you WANT to download video from these sites. The level of compression they use makes the video barely watchable, much less useful for archival purposes.
- eddiexplorer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Or just use "Ook? Ook Video!" Firefox Extension & download Media Player Classic
Or click the 'Download' button on Google Video... - Spikito, on 10/12/2007, -2/+51. Download & install Firefox
that makes me smile - sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Every user on Digg should be tech-savant. Or at least be Google proficient.
- thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Arrrgh!
I remember a time when almost every user on digg was proficient with computers.
now it's as if AOL posted a link to digg on their home page.
~sigh
Anyway if you don't know already this extension works wonders on just about any streaming media.

- varkey, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1Try
http://www.grabme.in
It supports 12 different sites including Youtube, MySpace, MetaCafe, DailyMotion etc - madivad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3as stated in the comments of the above link, keepvid.com will do it all for you, (more as an alternative) but it's online and automated.
I already use firefox, so I might give this method a go, thanks - hammadmemon, on 02/03/2009, -0/+1awesome trick to download YouTube videos with no clicks,
seems great http://twurl.nl/b3xagn - mitchb13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2you'd be right.

"VideoDownloader saves the files as FLV ..."
I use the FF extension 'video downloader', and it seems to be saving the files as ordinary .avi files. In any case, I can watch them with VLC player, or WMP or Winamp, just like any other .avi file.
I just click the little icon that appears on the status bar, and check the .avi setting in the dialogue box. Works every time.
(ignore the instructions next to the check box that say 'right click, save target as'...and just check the check box) - minideezel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I agree with eddiexplorer i use Ook! Video Ook! (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2584/) because of its simple just one button download and the fact that the downloaded video is what the tittle of the video and that it is always a flv
- dfhrace, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3ok ive been a member of digg for a whial now and i think that i have seen about 10 of these how-to-download videos from youtube etc. now i think people who want a top story should at least find something worth whial to put on the site if not just read the articles already up

I noticed this is absent on a lot of sites.. if you want the code just PM me. - mofotronimus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sorry.
- Lokix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh noes it takes too long to rename a video zomg!
- WallaceStevens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://downthisvideo.com/
This site will take any video from any site and give it to you to download in any format. No muss no fuss. Easy. - wbrooks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does it work with non-public youtube videos? Couldn't save the ones I have access to. I imagine it's because the server does not have access to the videos I have access to.
- dfhrace, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4oh god damn it if you are not going to use the comment section for USEFULL comments then dont even bother using it at all but if you are going to put links to that crap up here you should be banned from digg all together and then stoned by every decent member of digg

- sk545, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i can't get keepvid, downloadthisvideo or any others to work with livedigital.com website? Any of them work with it?

- BigSchmitt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hey good job stealing this right straight from someone else's tutorial, at least now we know you can right click and copy paste
- jwpowless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Which of the above methods will grab the video (watch it, it is pretty amazing) at this site: http://www.studiodaily.com/main/technique/tprojects/6850.html ?
I tried several, and crashed and burned. I came close just looking in my FireFox cache, but oddly, the video (after I renamed the file and added the extension) played upside down and mirrored...? - jordan314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is anyone else by the Author's use of how-to, which implies a noun?
- Lokix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looking at a small, unobtrusive ad on a website vs. downloading something that is probably ripe with spyware? Gee, tough choice.

Download and convert the iPod at once. - psychoselya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So I was going to ask a question about saving from "other" (read: porn) sites like JohnQ and PornoTube, but Hippo's awesome recommendation of Super solved my issues. So nevermind me, go download Super.
