I wanted to take a look at some YouTube videos, but with my unstable 3G connection the streaming doesn’t perform quite well. So I have tried to download them with the VideoDownload Firefox extension that I had already used on some other ocasions, but this time it hasn’t worked. YouTube must have change something and this extension, that hasn’t been updated since last year, doesn’t work any more. Well, this is what Google is for. ;)
After trying with 2 or 3 different extensions, I’ve found this page with a “bookmarklet” to download videos from several streaming services (not only YouTube) and a Greasemonkey stript which detects if the current page is supported and has a streaming video, and displays a link to download it. Very easy to use and convenient. :)
The only drawback: it seems that YouTube has some kind of anti-deep-linking method in place, and the download fails unless you do it directly with Firefox. It won’t work with any download manager, not even DownThemAll!, that beeing a Firefox extension I though would be able to handle the cookies/referer/whatever YouTube uses to prevent the downloads. Well, nobody’s perfect.
Lo que quieres es descargar videos del youtube?. Es que no sé si he entendido bien el post, jurl!…
Has probado con un programa que se llama YouTubeCatcher_1_0_rc1_r88_spanish_setup?.
Ya me dices si es lo que ibas buscando.
Que vaya bien!
Si, buscaba una forma de descargar videos de YouTube, porque el programa que conocía ya no funciona. El que dices tu es para Windows y yo no gasto de eso, ;) éste otro que comento en el post es un plugin para Firefox así que funciona con cualquier sistema operativo para el que haya versión de Firefox.
Gracias anyway!
