THE INDIAN DREAMER

Youtube is the most popular video-sharing site on the web. Sometimes we find videos which we like a lot and wonder if we could download it keep it in our video collection. Youtube owners forbid any kind of downloading of Youtube videos, but there are certain sites and softwares which provide you this facility. The most commonly used methodsv are copying and pasting the url of the youtube video (e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtyd3445&feature=related) into the space provided at certain websites such as www.downloadyoutubevideos.com or www.extractyoutube.com and changing the file name as name.flv.

If you want to use a software for downloading such videos, you can use Real Player. Download real player from www.pack.google.com, it will take about 10-15 minutes to download through a high speed internet connection. When you have downloaded real player, open the web site containg the video you want to download. When the site is opened, you will see a small button (Download This Video) on the right hand side just above the video as shown in the picture below. Just hit this button and your download will start. One very good thing about Real Player is that you can download not only the You tube videos but rather any kind of video present on web.

Another good alternative is kiss youtube videos. The url is www.kissyoutubevideos.com. In order to download, just add kiss to the url of the youtube video. For example, if the url of the Youtube video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtyd3445&feature=related then you need to type http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=gtyd3445&feature=related and you download will start. In this case, again you need to save the video as name.flv.
