yalor i alwiz wan noe..i saw those cool video in youtubes..wan dl..but duno how...it uses flash i think

use URL HELPER, the software sniffs out all the files which is being access by ur computer. Which means, u can see most of the streaming video url. just copy the link and paste is in ur download manager and u can start downloading

i dun c any urls popping up...

har? u need to sniff....

yea
i sniffed...they scan packets..but no url turn out

o0o...hahaha~ i tried it..well, i doesnt work. Muahahahaha.... Well, URL HELPER works for other websites such as zippyvideos.com, putfile.com, and so on.

Anyway, for youtube uses flash.hmm.. no idea. well i went to internet temporary files folder and found the files from youtube. the file had a few mb. Which is probaby the video file i've just watch at youtube. anyway. i go find out how. keep u updated later

told ya liao...use flash...java file all oso no use la

maybe this guide can help you?
http://www.tian.cc/2005/11/how-to-save-fla...om-youtube.html

i dun think so it will be in fla format..maybe in "FLV"(flash video). "fla" format you can edit it..But maybe there is a way...Try to view source and then try to find "flv".The "flv" MUST be in a URL..like ..then downoad it from the URL using your downlaod manager.I suggest DAP to do that work

so *.flv... I view source... But the link just give me the file without extension...
So, I'll try this way... hehe... Thanks...

@menghua84 - I think u want the malaysian police video... lol...

nope..I try it.and there is no way..They encode it.the URL ..urrgghhh..so clever..but not as me..hehehehehehe..

this dead link ar?

hey guys,

i like watching videos off you tube. and i keep coming back for more of the same ones. are there any programs, that can extract videos from the streams? it should work with the macromedia video player. ..

i have tried googling and dling some..wont really work..

any help appreciated.

thanks.

watch it in opera, after finish, go to the cache folder, copy the file (use to be .flv, they change it to .tmp already) to hd, then rename it to .flv and play it with vlc player.

have to copy right away coz .tmp will auto-deleted after a while.

i had this problem too and found the solution. here you go =) enjoy!
goto:
http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

or

http://www.dubayou.com/mytube.php

or

http://keepvid.com/
















..........or....................

When you click a link and it opens the page where the video is played, you will see the address is something like:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nv572hbyDv4

Just copy the last part of the address (Nv572hbyDv4 in this case) and add it to this

http://cdn2.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=

So you will get:
http://cdn2.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=Nv572hbyDv4

It then allows you to download a file named get_video.
In real, it is the video, in FLV format (flash video, you need flash video player) so I suggest renaming it when you save it and save it to .flv

By the way, heres a link to a flash video player : http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/articl...player-updated/

FLV conversion posts split to: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=285091

Is there a way to download movie trailer from those apple site or other sites??

http://ruleoffour.blogspot.com/2006/02/vid...downloader.html ??

Yup, I'm using this now as suggested by you

But the problem is sometimes I won't be able to see the full video (i.e. it ends prematurely) and it requires VLC to play.

i use ffdshow+mpc to play flv.
open up ffdshow video decoder config, at codecs set flv1 from disabled to libavcodec. for mpc, at formats option, tick flash video file.

wah so many method...head also pening liao

thanks.... http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php for firefox extension.... i`m use it now

This post has been edited by augurmaster: Jun 8 2006, 11:46 PM

Just use that link. And dl the video as .flv and convert to avi or what format. That's what i do

To add some information here, actually the Video stopped prematurely was because I was using VLC

Changed to a free and simple FLV player and it works flawlessly

What are you guys so eagerly wanna download from youtube anyway?

I saw what you did there!.

Wow.. javimoya so easy to use... Anyway, thanks for sharing ..

why don't you guys go firefox thread and look how to download from youtube?
They also provide firefox plugin to download from the direct link and then just need to change the extention name to flv, more easy less time

http://cdn2.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=9QXh8VvOdoM

Why this cannot work eh?

If wanna download the video clip, can try to right click and then click view source.
From the code, find out the Video ID of the video.
After that, refer to this>>http://www.tian.cc/2005/11/how-to-save-flash-videos-from-youtube.html
From the website, it just mentions the fire fox only.
Actually Internet Explorer also can use one.

Download Videos from Youtube

Guide posted under Essential Reviews and Guides

Can someone teach me how to convert the FLV file to other type of file?

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=383

each time after you finished loading the video on youtube.com,
quickly go to temp folder and type "get_video[1]" in the search box.

after you found the file, cut/copy it to your desktop. rename it with an extension(you hv to guess wat is the extension, mostly .avi, .flv, .rmvb, etc). taa daa... you got the video.

only for internet explorer tho

This is another way. More old school cos I normally hate using plugins and all that. Youtube files are stored in a file normally in depicted as a series of digits. If you are using firefox. Just go into the cache... make sure your folder options in xp has view all hidden files as well. Under local settings go to program files, mozilla/ cache/ under cache press F5. The file that's right at the top (latest) will be the only one increasing in size..that's your youtube file. Copy and rename *.flv voila.. you have your own flv file at your viewing pleasure.

just get this extension for firefox...

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/

to play them back use VLC player, videolan.org

I'm using this extension too, so far so good, works with FLV player as well

Yeap video downloader....

Use VLC cannot fast foward..... FLV player can fast foward??

Not FLV player itself. I install FLV player just for the codec

I play with Media Player classic and I can fast forward or directly jump to anywhere in the progress bar

flashget works just fine...

Guys.. I've found a better solution... can download the video directly but its in .flv format.

http://www.m3nghua.com/2006/10/18/how-to-d...youtube-videos/

THE MOST easiest WAY and USER FRIENDLY. NOOB ALSO KNOW HOW TO DOWNLOAD.

YouTube only:
http://video.qooqle.jp/dl/

Google & YouTube:
http://kej.tw/flvretriever/

Whoa.. too many methods already..

By the way,
Firefox users can download an extension:

Ook? Video Ook! by tnarik.
Here's the link.

Just let the video to fully loaded and with just a single click, you're done!

Play the FLV file using Media Player Classic is enough.

Use a program called : TubeDownloader

i've post a review b4 on d'loading youtube video other then .FLV format..

i already try it, but no image from MPC.

You need flash player....try to download the flv player or media classic 6.10.
Download here http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player

Try http://www.videodl.org

Works the same with KeepVid. How come you guys can download the videos while international links are down? Mine even 2% can't reach in 5 minutes.

i already download flash video player 3.2. but still same problem, no image displayed at MPC, only can hear the sound. I download the flv file from flurl.com by using unplug (one of the firefox extension).

why aren't u play with the flash video player? any flv supported codec u have?

use this.. http://vixy.net/flv_converter

nice 1

I already install storm codec. However, i already download flv player 1.3.3 and the one flv converter, Total Video Converter3.02.
Thanks for the helps.

I have the standalone program to download the Yoututbe and Google vids, and it is converted to .avi or .mpeg that u can select which to convert automatically.

But Bitcomet already can download those vids from Youtube, and play it by Bitcomet FLV Player.

I recommend that site also for youtube videos. Simple, easy and it's working.

There is also a Firefox plugin called Video Downloaded that enables you to download the videos from such webpages by simply clicking on the icon in the lower right corner of the browser.

You can download it from these links.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/

http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

Hope this helps.

I use K-Lite Mega Pack which has all the codec needed. Could play FLV files~

Hi, I have been trying to view youtube videos for some time now, but usually the video will stop by itself upon the first few seconds of playing.
I tried watching Eri Fukatsu's Space Traveler 1st chapter and the same thing happens.
I tried other videos but also same thing.
So can anybody help?
Thanks.

i also have the same problem occasionally but i dont know what the problem is and how to fix it. sorry. well, at least ure not alone.

You do know that the International links are not operating at 100% capacity right? That would be my FIRST thought. The video could be timing out because it's hopping over too many routes to get to M'sia. You are from M'sia aren't you?

My SECOND thought would be that your Macromedia Flash Player, which Youtube is based on, might need a re-installation.

Best of luck finding out the cause and solution.

yeah guess im not alone, hahah. uh, not that im trying to curse anyone. :0)
mm i heard about the international link thing, i was just a bit eager to watch eri fukatsu in space travelers..
i will try doing something with the mm, macromedia flash player thing.
hahah oh well, hey thanks guys for ur opinions :0) and so fast 2

oh yes, i m from malaysia, the safest country in the world, well almost.

come to think of it, i did watch one video on local stuff about "NTU lecturer damn funny" and it was ok..
i guess i'll just have to be patient and see..

sometimes, i get like about 30 seconds of video then it wont load anymore, just the share or watch again symbol on the video.
mm, sometimes i get around 2-9 secs..

anyway, i then fiddled around with my static ip and noticed that my configuration was wrong, so i did something with the router (ip) (yeah my bad, sorry guys) and noticed that the data transfer seemed faster but doesnt help with the youtube.

then i uninstalled the flash player n reinstall like was suggested, n things still seem the same.
i tried watching a supposedly local content, n it seemed pretty much ok, ( NTU lecturer stuff ) but it was slower than when i watched it in the afternoon, i still don know why. (err, afternoon less ppl use, so more bandwidth? not sure...)
and i dont know why eri fukatsu's video wont work but local one does.
( maybe because it's small size so like, not that much affected as the eri fukatsu video? ) or possibly like Altie said , international links are down. the latter i think is more probable.

mm, so like anybody out there who have no problem watching local video but got prob watching international one..? so i can like know what my prob is or am i the only one? like only occasionally or all the time?

by the way, Awh85, i have this prob all the time since 2 days ago... after i downloaded youtube video downloader and tried downloading eri fukatsu's video.. although downlaod din finish that time ( 5 min out of 9 min), but still far better than now.
or could it be that bandwidth 2 days ago is better than now? ( just suggesting to myself)
very2 sorry guys for the long long post. just wanted to clarify coz mm.. just impatient to watch space travelers and mm, yeah the signature explains it all... :0)

well for me its not the int link prob coz even before the earthquake i was having problems. when/if i find out the problem i will update here.

Threads merged and made official

I'll update the first post if I've time

And regarding the YouTube problem that you're suffering, I guess you're not the only one.

Some videos can be viewed very smooth, but most of them not. I then tried to use VideoDownloader extension to save the video to my HDD, and the download speed is just around 15KBps (for my 1mbps line) which is very disappointing.

Me too. K-Lite Codec Mega Pack is all that I needed to play all media file currently.

Yeah i got the youtube downloader thing 2, but it can only download what youtube can view..
If youtube can view like the 1st 20 secs, the downloader can only download 20 secs..
kinda depressing actually, sigh..

to get the link to download the file, use :

keepvid.com

(will not work with a private video, but you can get it from your cache/temporary internet folder)



to download the file, use :

Download Accelerator Plus

(very fast download even with the free version, no cuts/broken file whatsoever)



to view the video, use :

FLV Player S

(other player may have a problem viewing flv file longer than 20mins,
but this one have no problem with that, even a 2 hours one...)



been using this method since early last year, giving me no problem till now,
even with all the earthquake issue I still got a maximum download speed...

I dont know what happened.. but today, the youtube speed has increased by so much,
its even possible to view the videos that i couldnt previously view before.. like all the way without any pause at all, except a few very short ones..

I have been using cFosSpeed for 2-3 days now but i'm not sure if that caused it or rather improvement in the repairing of the cables..

maybe youtube had upgraded the engine

ya....damn...youtube is damn fast rite now......my song never finish yet it ade dl finish long time ago =.=
Last time i use to wait like @@" sigh

usually i had to refresh to watch certain video.

now,no need to refresh anymore

youtube so many probs..

around 3 smth in afternoon on Sunday, cant even enter youtube website..

anybody experiencing the same thing?

i think too many user try to accesss youtube at that time,and make the online trafic "jem"
