There are so many people all over the world who are avid lovers of video and who are frustrated. They are enjoying only half the story. Most of them want to download flash videos from YouTube, the famous online video sharing portal, but are not able to. What makes them even more frustrated is that some of their friends find no problems in downloading the same videos. They used to think that they were getting the videos from somewhere else and then ripping them and converting them to .flv.
FLV is the format YouTube uses for its files:
Yes, flash video (.flv) is the format YouTube uses to store all the movies that are uploaded to its server. The biggest free hosting services for videos on the net has provided lovers of video all that they want except for a little thing. One can see the videos online but they cannot download it. When a video, regardless of the format it is in and as long as YouTube accepts it, is uploaded to their server, software changes the format of the video to .flv. After this conversion the movie is assigned an unique URL and the video is embedded on a web page and is accessible to one and all.
So far so good and the movies that you have uploaded on YouTube can easily be seen by all your friends over the world. However they cannot download the same and the one facing the biggest problem is a nephew who stays in an Asian country. They have a slow dial up connection and it takes a long time to load the video. Each time they want to see the favorite video again, they have see it off YouTube. Not only does this take quite a lot of time, it costs them lots of money too.
Click on the button marked `Download Video’
Their ISP provides them just a measly amount of downloads per month and after that they have to pay a huge sum for every MB that they download. When one sees a movie through YouTube, the same is buffered on their local drive and then played. This buffering is done so meticulously that one cannot find it. However, there are ways by which one can actually download the movies of their liking from YouTube without any hassles.
It does not require one to be a computer whiz kid to follow the instructions that will permit you to download your favorite movies from YouTube and store them on your hard drive for offline viewing. You should know that videos on YouTube are in the flash format. First you need to download and install the Firefox browser. Next you have to launch firefox and install the grease monkey add on. Once this is done you have to download and install the `Download YouTube Video’ script. This is all that is required.
To download a video that you like from the YouTube server, you just load the video as you normally do and click on the small button marked `Download Video’. If you have followed the instructions carefully, the video will be downloaded to my hard drive and then I can use any video converter to convert the video to a format of my choice.
