You probably saved my marriage. Don't know how many times I had to go through the process of saving a video with my wife.
"Noo! Don't click there, that's a cunning advertisement designed to get you to install some crapware. Click here."

Yes indeed very well done Sir

Thanks guys
It's much easier now, since youtube use HTML 5, rightclick the video while playing
and choose "save video as". You get it as a webm file.

The "ss" service is still great for a quick download of videos which are blocked for german IPs.

I went to www.youtube.com and my screen just flicker but if I go to www.yahoo.com the screen is normal and other links seem to be normal too. Can that be fixed or not?

I use the similar one, but i download usually the MP4 files.

[anajames]

But the quality i get after the download is not the HD one. How do i get that? any leads on that.

I recommend youtube-dl if you want the HD video file or the audio file
in best quality possible.

Note:
youtube-dl needs python.
It can extract videos from many (other) sites.
use the newest version

When you have it running, check with

Code: Select all

youtube-dl -F www.youtube.com/xxxxxx

which (video/audio) qualities are available.

download the best option - usually f 22 - if available.

For audio only (best quality possible) use eg.

Code: Select all

youtube-dl -x --audio-format wav -f 22 www.youtube.com/xxxxxxx

Make an mp3 later (if you need) with better encoder settings
than these "download pages" do it.
eg.

Code: Select all

lame -m s -b 256 --strictly-enforce-iso -q 2 <infile> [outfile]

^ If I may just add, always update after a couple of days:

Code: Select all

sudo  youtube-dl  -U

And sites are many! https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
