Is it possible to burn youtube to disk?

[cruzin]

Hi there are so many good short videos of Ron on youtube and I would like to copy them to disk and pass them out. Is this possible and can someone tell me how to do it. I just found his speech in Arizona on infowars that was downloadable and burning copies at this moment but Id like to do the same from you tube. or other sites. can someone help me. thanks

I have never done it, but I understand if when you find a video on youtube that you like, if you put the word "love" right before "youtube" i.e

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KW8DRSvEoQ

becomes

http://www.loveyoutube.com/watch?v=9KW8DRSvEoQ

then you can download the video. I am not sure of the formatting.



PS I think the above video is awesome and reflects a lot of what RP says.

Hmm never mind I just tried it and it didn't work. I know there is a way tho.

I've been using the www.mediapirate.org website. They also have a FireFox extension.

Just in case, did you miss my suggestion above of www.mediapirate.org? Just go to the YouTube page with the video, copy the URL, and then paste it into mediapirate.org's text box on their page and hit Enter. The page should referesh with a download link near the bottom. Alternatively, with the FireFox extension, just go to the YouTube page with the video, right click somewhere in the background and choose "Steal this content" or somesuch. It will go directly to the page with the download link near the bottom.

I hope there is. It would be convienent. I am planning to take RP's speeches and media coverage and put it on local access TV, for people who don't have the internet.

I will try that. tnx

 

[cruzin]

I will try that. tnx

I went to mediapirate.org and tried to figure it out. Can you tell me what is involved?
I tried to download somthing for mozilla which is what I run for a browser. It did not work. What does one need to download, how do I use it? thanks

There is a firefox extension called video downloader that downloads youtube movies straight to your desktop. You then have to convert the files into whatever format you need, but in my experience it works pretty well.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390

After downloading with this method can one burn to cd and then can anyone view it on their computer without installing programs? Im trying to make cd movies that folks can just put in their computer and watch RP.

If you are familiar with using command line programs you can use this:
http://www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/

It works on linux, windows, and mac. However, when you download them they are in .flv format I believe. You may want to change it if your audience might not have flash installed on their computer.

Hi, I tried this method and I think I have to install videodownloader, am I right? I run mozilla, is there a difference between firefox and mozilla? when I try to install the video downloader I get a error, (install script not found) can you explain this? thanks

Here's what to do (in any browser) if you want to avoid the Firefox extenion. (By the way, the extension probably does work with Mozilla as well, but I have no real idea, since I've never used Mozilla, so I'm not actually familiar with differences between it and Firefox.)

If you go to YouTube and are viewing a video (for example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XlVgoNHfis), you can go up to the address bar of your browser and copy that URL. Then, go to http://www.mediapirate.org/. You'll see a textbox near the top, and right above it is the sentence "Paste your link here to grab the content:". Paste the URL that was to the page with the YouTube video (which was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XlVgoNHfis in this case) into this text box, and hit Enter while the text cursor is still blinking in the text box. The Enter key should cause a new page to load. Once it has loaded, scroll down about half way. There should be a section on the page near the middle that says:

FLV: (Attention! You have to rename the file to somename.flv)
Sometimes "right click -> save as" doesn't work for youtube ... only left click.
(\/) Download it now

Click the "Download it now" link, and you should get an option to open or save the file (it'll be slightly different, depending on which browser you use, of course). The filename is usually "get_video", with no file extension. Just rename it to whatever you want, and add ".flv" to the end.

At that point, you can either get a player that can play flv files, or you can get a converter to convert to other formats. I've been using Media Converter for now, and it works fine.

Just for the record, Mozilla is the "brand name" (like Microsoft). Firefox is thier web-browser (like Internet Explorer). Also, Mozilla's answer to MS's Outlook Express is called Thunderbird. I use them both and have never looked back at MS.

I have a few addon extensions, but never knew about the youtube capture one. Thanks MUCHO for that tip Llama! I'm dl-ing it as I type this!
