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.

TubeChop

We all love to share YouTube videos don’t we. Especially with the ever growing number of excellent videos on the world’s biggest video database, we always find something or the other which we would rate as amusing or simply a must-watch. But for some impatient ones like me, we always tend to be really excited about the stuff we share. And we want to share a specific portion of a YouTube video. We often even use YouTube videos for referencing – like a particular portion from a video would help an opinion etc etc. You get it. But how do we achieve it. Well, the usual drill was to mention, please refer the video from 2 mins and 40 seconds onwards blah blah! But not anymore. Techkeyla is here to the rescue. Enter – TubeChop. Not only can you edit YouTube videos, but also share it, embed it, and prove your awesomeness.

So how do you actually do it?

Glad you asked. Just go to TubeChop. The text bar on the site, asks for the YouTube video URL. Just paste your desired URL . For our tutorial, we are using this supercute LOLcat video. Once you paste and hit enter, it will ask you to select the start and end points of the video.

Just drag and seek the start and end position bars as required. Easy peasy!!

Once done, hit the Chop It button. The next page gives you the link, as well as the Embed Code. Howzzat!
The only weakness of this tool is that it does not work with videos which have disabled embedding.

And because you have been so attentive, you get to see this really cute and home-edited version of LOLCATS. Enjoy and happy edited sharing. Cheerio!

YouTube Loves HD

I know, I have done a lot of posts on YouTube video Downloads so far. Javascripts, and old favorites like Keepvid. But this new tool is fast becoming my favorite. I don’t feel the need to go back to Keepvid anymore. Because KeepHD is the one stop shop which fulfills all my YouTube needs.

a) It supports HD video download as well. Yes, just copy the URL and paste it in the address bar on the KeepHD page. And voila!! Your video can be downloaded in FLV Low Quality, 3GP Mobile video, MP4 High quality or HD.

b) Second best thing, the address bar gets auto-deleted when you click on it. So, once you are done downloading your previous video and before pasting the next URL, there is no need to select the previous URL and delete it. So you have two steps of redundant work eliminated. Also, to download a YouTube video whose URL is say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXENO12nw28 (Hary Hill’s TV Burp), you can just paste the highlighted portion after keephd.com. So this would look like http://keephd.com/watch?v=CXENO12nw28, and the download options page would be displayed.

c) Best feature as yet, you can download videos which are not available in your region. You do get frustrated when you can’t view certain videos on YouTube due to area restrictions. Just download them via KeepHD and view them offline. And especially with the new TV Shows and Movies added on YouTube, KeepHD will surely become one of the favorite internet services available. Happy Downloading!

Yes, this is just a Time-Waster for all who just have way too much time to watch videos in a vertically flipped window. Yeah true, that sometimes you would like to see the videos from a Danny Boyle-esque perspective and you want to flip your cameras. But for the time being, flipping of YouTube videos would have to be your solace. To do this, just add the code:&flip=1 after the video url, and voila, your entire Youtube window gets upside down, even to the text level. Have a look at the screen below.

YouTube Flip

The above video is a Jimmy Kimmel Live show video courtesy: JimmyKimmelLive The url to this video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebQs1AxCkQo, and when it is changed to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebQs1AxCkQo&flip=1 , the above flipped version is shown. The position of the comments do not change; they are below the video, but the tabs for the share, playlist, flag etc are shown on the botton border of the video. Nice fun to surprise your friends. Cheers!
