Howdy folks. Another requested solution for a friend of mine, Miss 'S.L.' :P . In many other posts I've seen, people wrote about PROGRAMS that can download videos from video-hosting sites like YouTube etc etc. So, I try to turn things around by suggesting to you all to download videos WITHOUT any programs.
In my opinion, programs increase clutters of files on computers and risks of getting spywares or viruses. Programs also have to be started in order to download videos from sites.
Pointing out some advantages of program-free downloading, it's because :
- No settings to check in programs,
- Saves space on your comp,
- No software downloads needed, just bookmarking (you'll see what I mean),
- & Simple (well, almost all of them)
Not to delay any more, here are the few ways of program-free video downloading :
- As easy as 'copy + paste'. Copy your video link in the address bar. Then, paste into one of these sites, keepvid.com, gazzump.com or vixy.net . I would recommend vixy.net or gazzump.com 'cause it offers conversion to other video formats.
- Give to receive (videos of course). Just add these words 'kiss', 'pwn' or 'kick' (without the '') into 'www.[here]youtube.com/wateveryourewatching' in the address bar of the video & hit 'Enter'.
- DIY steps for geeks. Did you know rendered videos stays on your comp? That's why online videos that has been fully rendered can still be played in your browser offline. This'll be pretty tough, but easy too if you just take your time. Here it goes... :
- Make sure 'hidden files & folders' is unticked
- Open & Play the video in your browser (UNTIL THE VIDEO IS FULLY RENDERED)
- My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > *USERNAME* > Local Settings > Temp
- Make a shortcut to the 'Temp' folder & put on your desktop
- In 'Temp' folder, find files starts with 'fla' (ex: fla7D.tmp)
- Copy the last 'fla' file ('cause it's the last video you played) to desktop
- Rename 'fla' file you COPIED to DESKTOP (ex: fla7D.tmp -> name.flv) ...& done!
