Yes, we have done quite a few YouTube downloading how-tos in the past. Some of them still work, some don’t. The one which continues to work is the ever-updating awesome tool – KeepVid.com. But remember the good ol’ days of the javascript bookmarklet which used to make life so much easier. Well, the bookmarklet is back again.
And it’s called – PwnYouTube. Go drag and drop it on your bookmarks bar just as I did.
Now when you visit a YouTube video, on the page, when you hit the bookmarklet, the menu option appears on top of the screen. Its on a yellow background, so I don’t think you’ll miss it. For your convenience, it looks like this.
Right click, and save as shown. Voila! Easy peasy!
Else, there is another alternative. Just append ‘pwn’ before the youtube video URL.
e.g. To download video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66TuSJo4dZM, enter
http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=66TuSJo4dZM
You’ll be redirected to deturl.com, and there, you’ll find options to download it from SaveVid, YouDDL and KeepVid.
So there you go, happy downloading YouTube videos.
