just add pwn infront of youtube.com so it becomes [url]http://pwnyoutube.com/blahblah[/url] and you can download that same video. also youtube poop is shit and if you like it you're obviously a retarded child.
Jesus, this is exactly why the original creators should of never sold it to Google. Who wants to pay $2 for a video off of Youtube?
Fuck this shit. I've got add-on for firefox that downloads any embedded flash video or object. At pretty fast speeds too. (100kb/s) as mentioned before. Downloadhelper.
[QUOTE=DireAvenger;15896285]But what about youtube poop? [img]http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/frown.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Youtube poop is all terrible and unfunny.
I've used this addon for quite a while, it lets me download for free in the different formats: [url]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10137/[/url] I also don't see the pay-to-download yet... :raise:
Only some videos have it and it's pretty old news. Anyone who pays to download a video from Youtube is a moron.
Isn't making profit off of another person's work y'know, illegal?

Ha ha, Youtube you silly idiot.
[url]www.savevid.com[/url] Paste URL and hit MP4. Instant HQ
[QUOTE=connor38;15896114]oh god, this is awful, it's going to be pay to watch soon[/QUOTE] Duh because they are just gonna keep lower the already shitty quality to the point inn which the videos will be unwatchable and you will have no other option.
fuck that
Who gets the profits? The video creator, or google?
Whenever Youtube becomes pay to watch we'll all go somewhere else and Google will be like, "Where the fuck did everyone go!?".
[QUOTE=Generic Monk;15896166]Well youtube can suck my dick. Just to spite them I'm downloading some shit off it right now in high quality MP4 for [B]free[/B].[/QUOTE] Just wait, before long all the anti piracy people will be cracking down on you.
[QUOTE=TommyPie;15896727]Why download them when you could just buy the game and have them all?[/QUOTE] Yeah, and have them in 1080p instead.
So in other words, Google are taking advantage of their userbase of people who know shit about computers and the people who put videos they created themselves and put on YouTube to profit? Further proof that YouTube went downhill even before it was bought by Google. Honestly, they make the site so damn slow and poorly coded to the point where it's impossible to actually watch videos anymore, then charge users to download it?
First of all, youtube isn't going to charge users to watch regular videos. They may charge for premium content in the future, but no video I've seen yet on the site is worth paying money for due to the short duration and general lack of quality. That's not to say however there aren't good videos on there; there are plenty. And you can watch the video for free as many times as you like now, you don't have to pay to watch it.

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;15896959][b]A lot of[/b] Youtube poop is all terrible and unfunny.[/QUOTE] Fixed. There are some really funny ones, just gotta find them. There's a Toy Story one that was hilarious and there were some other real good ones before every 10 year old with the internet and some movie clips started making them.
[QUOTE=TommyPie;15896727]Why download them when you could just buy the game and have them all?[/QUOTE] Because 1 game is not worth having to buy a PS3.

[QUOTE=trutelz;15896131]Yeah, well YouTube is trying to crackdown on those types of programs/sites.[/QUOTE] This is why greasemonkey script comes in handy, because soon it'll get harder to find these sites.
Give them money to download someone else's video? lolwut
[QUOTE=DireAvenger;15896266]Realplayer does this EASY.[/QUOTE] but your forgetting realplayer is for nazis and it's shit.
[QUOTE=trutelz;15896131]Yeah, well YouTube is not really trying to crackdown on those types of programs/sites.[/QUOTE] fixed.
Not from what I heard, I remember reading somewhere they are attempting to shut down sites that allow people to download videos. It's obviously not successful.
[QUOTE=Master117;15896584]Ugh, we should start a Youtube boycott. Our demands? Free downloads of user posted material Faster video playback No pop up video ads Anything else you can think of.[/QUOTE] And then Youtube gets shutdown because they don't even break even.
loool.. there's an app on my google phone that allows me to download youtube vids for free. when i went to check for updates.. it was removed off the app market.. but i still have it on my phone :v: so fun
Oh I must've been mistaken, i thought Youtube was supposed to be a [i]FUN[/i] site. Not a corporate shit hole.
