Downloads from youtube at fast speed, and also helps you play them. (and also convert them) e.g. convert to mp4 for ipod/itunes, mp3 player, mpg for movie maker, and more.
While this may not be a perfect example of a hack, in my defense, the defiinition of hack is: [U]se a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system.
While YouTube does not make an effort to stop you from downloading a movie, they do not provide a built-in way of doing it. I would imagine that if they were to do it, they would do it much like google video, where if a publisher decides to allow their vids to be downloaded, there is be a button in the sidebar.
First off, you don't need to put your user name at the end of your response, thats why it's the label there jackass, I get it, you're mac tipper, wow.
I'd say there is a slew of other more experienced OSX users.
You got the gist of what a hack is, but you still mis-used the word given that this tool was built into the OS. I can't stress this enough, not a hack, get over it bro.
YouTube doesn't provide a download option due to numerous lawsuits against the company for theft.
I sign my name to show that it's the end of the comment. I need to do this because of the 500 character limit.
I would agree that there are a lot of people who are more experienced than me. There are also a lot of people who are less experienced than me. The number of people who are less experienced than me is far greater than the number of people with more experience. I'm not writing tips for the people who know more, but for the people who know less.
Whether I misused the word "hack" or not, I can't change it. My apologies. However, the tools are not provided. Granted, they are easily accessible.
I know why they don't provide. It's possible that they could provide one though. If they did, they would probably do it in much the same way that Google Video does.
Thats a very bold statement there chief, and I know what I'm about to say is a bold statement but, based on the videos on your page I wouldn't be so quick to say that the population of less experienced is larger, given that OSX is a decieving OS.
Though it is impeccably user friendly and any genius can figure it out.
It's nice that you give simple tips, but alot of what you cover anyone can figure out.
A lot of what I cover I have figured out. However, a lot of people don't bother to figure it out. Also, with the mac population growing there are more new people.
Have you read the blog? I have far more tips on there than I do in my videos. I'm hoping to be making more videos soon, but, I don't have the time right now.
While the tips on the blog can be basic, there are also some advanced tips. It really depends upon the day. Sometimes I discover something that is absolutely amazing. Other times, I don't have a really great tip, so I write one that is basic. The important part is that I write a tip every day. (Except saturday.)
Hey I have a question: which program did you use to record your screen? is it free? if no do you know any good ones which are free??? Does this program affect the loading speed of your other programs that are being used during the time of recording?? Thx.
the website that foyager is talking about is downloadyoutubevideos (.) com. While I have not tested every downloader service, I do not like them because they are generally slow. As more people use the service, the slower it gets. Also, they seem to run into a problem all to often. I'm not saying my way is the best way, it is just (to me) more reliable.
If you have to, you can select the video in the activity monitor, copy the URL (Cmd-C) then, open the downloads window (Cmd-Option-L) and paste it in. (Cmd-V).
ok well that worked for the fist part but it is still not doing good, so say I wanna download firefox right, well I download it and it doesn't say mounting failed any more, I open it up, click on agree, and then it says the following disk images failed to mount, and under firfox that I downloaded it says, broken pipe? what do I do and how do I fix this!! pls help, thx!!!!!
hah awsome thanks, i figured out how to download the videos form youtube on my own but i never knew a program that played the FLV's, for windos users you can also use firefox's firebug
this is sweet thanks for posting this it super helpful. I'm trying to make one of my downloaded youtube videos be my screen saver... do you know how to do that?
Actually, I've never heard of doing that. However, if you search versiontracker dot com for "Save HollyWood" then you should find a screensaver where you can select a movie to play. (I should do this as my tip on sunday...)
If by anyhow you run windows on parallex or on bootcamp, you could try Zillatube - it works wonders... it downloads youtube, and more. "Zillatube" can be found... just google it.
The activity window didn't come up? Did you hit Cmd-Option-A. Also, it might have opened up behind the other windows. Hit Cmd-Tilde key to switch between wiindows.

Using options built into the operating system is not a hack.
One is simply double clicking the link.
Wow, thats hard.
Everyone nowadays is so obsessed with the idea of being a "hacker" it is insanely moronic.
Get the terminology right for once please.

Nerklin, I use Snapz Pro X which is not free. ($70) However, I do know of a good free screen capture program you can use. I'll send you a PM.
I don't know if it slows down loading time or not. I have not tested. However, I don't think it does. (Not noticeably at least.)

To record you mac's screen you'll need to download Snaps Pro X. Also, you'll need to $80 at the end of the 15 day trial.

When you go into iSquint and click the vid for iPod, can you do it for PSP as well? It needs to be a format for PSP!
