Chris Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Google has a solid amount of cash in its pockets, but with all the recent lawsuits against YouTube one has to wonder if it’s time to salvage whatever videos you like from the service and save them somewhere where evil attorneys won’t look – your hard drive.Luckily, there are literally dozens of tools for downloading videos from YouTube and/or converting those YouTube videos to some format other than .flv. It’s hard to pick the best one, as they all have pluses and minuses. Thus, we’ve chosen 23 YouTube downloader tools we’ve found to be actually working. Here they are, categorized according to the platform they work on:Here You Go!There is one that isn't listed that I use. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Wow. I never knew there was so many ways. So if you download one do you still get that crappy quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Wow. I never knew there was so many ways.Neither did I.I only use the KeepVid method but now I have other choices B) So if you download one do you still get that crappy quality?I don't know for certain but I would imagine so as the playback is only as good as the video data that is being used.

cozofdeath Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Yeah I believe your right. I just downloaded an 18M Youtube clip using KeepVid and I got the same quality. Still its pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I use Vdownloader and get the same quality as on youtube, but get the same on fullscreen as youtubes window.It also works on Opera and gives various choices of file to save in.
