So many of the new windows user who migrate to linux complain about trouble downloading videos from youtube.So friends i give you the most simple solutions ever and after this you will love your linux much more.
A.LOOK IN THE TEMP FOLDER
Follow the following step :
- Go to where your video which you want to download is
- let the video buffer its full length
- Minimize your browser [DONT CLOSE IT -----NO NO !!!]
- Go to DESKTOP>COMPUTER>FILE SYSTEM>TEMP
- WHAM BAM you will find your video here ..copy paste it to your desktop ....rename it now you can watch the video again and again ........
- You can close your browser if you want ! :-)
NOTE
:-
1.
i did this on ubuntu 10.10 , mint 9 and debian 6.0 with firefox
morzilla........i have not tried this any other browser or distro .I
will let you know i there is any other way to do this !!!
2. This can be done for video in any website ....youtube was just an example !
B.YOUTUB-DL
2. This can be done for video in any website ....youtube was just an example !
B.YOUTUB-DL
There
is a software thats available in your package manager ,its named
youtube-dl.youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download
videos from YouTube.com
and other sites that don't provide direct links to the videos
served.
Youtube-dl
allows the user, among other things, to choose a specific video
quality to download (if available) or let the program automatically
determine the best quality video to grab. It supports downloading
entire playlists and all videos from a given user.Currently
supported sites are video.google.com, youtube, photobucket, and
metacafe.You
can get youtube-dl from your package manager.
C.THE KISS WAY ;-)
C.THE KISS WAY ;-)
- Go to where your video is - for example it is at "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z_liq2su2w"
- Now you add the word kiss before youtube in the link ---"http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=0z_liq2su2w".
- Hit enter and it will redirect to aveyoutube pages from where you can save youtube video easily ,it also allows you to save them in the format that you want ,like .flv,mp4 and also give resolution choice .
- If it's your first-time, a warning box may pop-up - just select "Run" to continue. This is perfectly safe and will not install software.
- A list of download links will appear. Right-click on the format you want and select "Save As..." to start your download. That's all!
NOTE:-
You
can still use firefox extensions and softwares like youtube-dl to
download video,this is a method where you dont require any software
installed. I recommend users to go for this.. have any comment??? Do
drop it down..
