How to grab YouTube videos as MP4 Files?
February 10th, 2010
It’s a good idea to use a bookmarklet to download videos from YouTube.
You could save the following link as a bookmarklet by dragging it to your Links bar (in Firefox, Safari) or right-clicking and adding it to your favorites (in Internet Explorer, Opera):
When you want to download a YouTube video, just click on “Get YouTube video” and the bookmarklet adds a small link below the video’s description: “Download: standard MP4“. Click on that link and you’ll download the video. For some videos, you’ll also see the option to download the HD version like – “Download: standard MP4 | HD 720p | HD 1080p“.
