Downloading You Tube

[Marmora Man]

Is it possible to download You Tube videos permanently? There are a few old BBC records available on You Tube that, for various reasons, I'd like to retain as a permanent record fro family history.

Any advice will be received most gratefully.

Thanks

It was only this morning that I was thinking the same thing.

I have created lots of links to C++ Tutorials and would like to have them on disk.

Just Google 'Save Youtube' and there are lots of Youtube vids telling you how.

There is a extension for Real Player that lets you download them and even save them as an MP3.

It's easily get-able on the Real website.

If you use Mozilla Firefox as a browser you can add a download plugin (all free) to the browser. It shows as a little blue arrow. Whilst an mpeg video is playing on any site, you can click that arrow to download the video.

I have just downloaded Video Download Helper.

An add on for Firefox..

Here is a link about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfkFO9_SwIo

It is an old video and suggests you need to download a player.

When I first tried it asked if I wanted to Convert to a dif. Format.

Then it got a little complicated.

I tried again without the conversion and it saved vid. as .MP4 which plays ok..

It worked - thank you. 60 mins of BBC Perisher is now saved to my hard drive.
