Download YouTube videos

Download and keep your favorite YouTube videos
YouTube – and other streaming video sites – do not allow you to download video to keep. Here is how to do it:

  • Go to the KeepVid website http://www.keepvid.com/. Type in the URL of the YouTube video you want to download.
  • Click and the video will be downloaded to your computer.
  • For more convenience, drag the KeepVid bookmarklet to your toolbar:
  • KeepVid adds a toolbar buttonto your browser window. Just click that and download the video you are watching.

You can use it to download and keep all videos and embedded objects on a webpage such as movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc. from sites like
Youtube, Google Video, Facebook, Digg, Blip.tv, and Music.com.
