Download Videos from YouTube, Google Video

, , May 24th, 2007

A few days back, I happened to come across a really interesting and useful add-on for Firefox. It downloads videos or other embedded multimedia content from the website, directly to your hard disk, in FLV format. Click here to visit the download page.

Looks like the download-every-time-you-wanna-watch days are going to be long and past. But will they come out with some way to block add-ons like these? I don’t have the slightest idea..

Btw, if you have the Greasemonkey add-on installed, you can also check these two scripts. They add a ‘download this video’ link to any YouTube or Google Video video page.

Script 1 - For YouTube videos

Script 2 - For Google Video videos

As you would know, Greasemonkey scripts sure are much more convenient than any other add-on.
