Are the clips on youtube? Just enter the link of the Youtube video into the following website: http://en.share-tube.eu/ Select video format .avi and click download. Select the folder where to download the video to. Click on store (speichern). That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaomaiminam Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 kamui. i can't seem to find out how to enter the url....any help? If you are using Mozilla/Firefox, simply google firefox download helper, it will direct you to a firefox plugin that is free, easy to install (takes about 5 seconds), and it will allow you to download from any streaming site (youtube, xxx sites, etc.). It also can convert the download (usually *.flv) on the fly to other formats that might be more compatible if you want to burn it to a DVD. Downloadhelper appears as a little icon in your tool bar on the firefox browser, and you can do a lot more with it by doing additional setup. Now, downloadhelper single streams the download, so it it relative slow, and it only runs as long as firefox it up, if firefox crashes (as it is wont to do more often these days), you have lost your downloads, it does not do a restart. So the next step, if you do a lot of downloading is to get a program like Internet Download Manager, which after installation helps with downloads for both Firefox and IE and Chrome, but it doesn't work with Comodo Dragon. It will multistream most downloads, which makes it much faster and it will continue to download even after the application (Firefox or IE) is taken down. Also, each download is a separate task, so any failure (and it will try restarts as well) does not affect any other downloads. IDM is a chargeable, though not expensive programs, which of course can be found for free from multiple sites if piracy is your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
