How To Download From YouTube

If you're like me, you have found something halarious, interesting, or illegal on YouTube or Google Video. The drawback can be either, like me, you don't have high speed so you have to watch somewhere else, or you want to have the video on your hard drive, in possibly a better format. That's where KeepVid comes in.

KeepVid is a website that allows you download video from several mainstream video sites, such as Google Video, MySpace, and YouTube. All you have to do is copy the URL of the site with the video on it, and paste it into KeepVid and hit download. Then a link will pop up, and you will have 1 or more options of the type of file to download.

However, sometimes KeepVid does not put a file extension on when you download it. Check to see what it says you are downloading, and then just add the file extension when you are done. All files from YouTube are .FLV. To play FLV files, you need a FLV player, such as FLV Player, which has a download link on KeepVid. I am not sure, but you may be able to watch them in your browser if you have the right plugin.

When downloading from google video, in order to watch an AVI, you need DivX to watch it.

I'm not sure, but currently I think KeeVid is down. I'll try to find more out.
