Tiger7Moth Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I would appreciate information about whether or not I can do this. If yes, brief instructions would be most appreciated. VLC Media player is my preference, but, I also have Windows Media Player. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbkk Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Are you using Firefox? If so, there are a lot of add-ons available which let you download all kind of stuff, including videos from youtube. Take a look at here or here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Firefox? Download the Ant video downloader add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) Orbit Downloader Not my favorite download manager in general, but it really offers nice flash media download options (not limited to youtube). Integrates with all major browsers. welo Edited April 9, 2010 by welo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I use Internet Download Manager. I had a trial subscription and liked it well enough to buy it. It downloads to my download folder and I normally use VLC player. The download manager works with all browsers. I am using Pale Moon Project.

welo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 ^ I agree, Internet Download Manager combines the pros of Free Download Manager with Orbit's Flash Download capabilities. I am just to stingy to buy it, so I don't use it welo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it may be a bit off the topc's scope, but I have 2 questions: Re: Internet Download Manager Is it really the best amongst paid/free download accelerators? Re: Pale Moon Project Have you compared the speeds of FF with other browsers like Chrome, IE, etc.? P.S. I just noted that Pale Moon will not work with AMD Athlon XP processors - I'm using one.

welo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 When it comes to web browsers, I would not necessarily consider 'speed' the most important criteria. When looking at Javascript performance some compiler options will not speed up Firefox enough to be able to compete with Chrome, the difference is just too big. Did anybody find a good review/comparison between Pale Moon and the default Firefox built? Just looked around but didn't find anything reliable, just buzz talk without any solid facts. I know the Pale Moon website lists benchmarks but those seem very limited in scope (focusing on very specific programmatic patterns) and say nothing about real world scenarios. I am sticking with Firefox due to its addons (Chrome might catch up with its new extension platform) and for sentimental reasons - it was the Mozilla project that saved us from living hel_l on earth with a stagnating Internet Explorer. I am in no position to comment on 'the best' download manager. When it comes to freeware 'Free Download Manager' is surely a nice pick and its rich feature-set will satisfy most users (with the exception of flash movie downloads - they are working on this feature but last time I checked it was still not usable yet). welo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Since we are mentioning download managers, my personal favorite and which I have been using for years is FlashGet combined with the FF plugin flashgot. I would recommend getting the older version, around 1.6-1.9 as it seems lighter weight then the current 3.3 version. Version 1.9 and 1.7.3 (Classic version) is also available from the above link. It is freeware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ant.comFree and easy. Just tried it out. Couldn't get it to even detect any BBC videos, so they couldn't be downloaded. Tried a few Youtube ones, it could detect them, but when downloaded, they were all 0 kb in size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used a number of download managers and trials for paid programs. I like this one the best because it is user friendly and is nearly fully automatic. It also works for all the browsers I have tried. Pale Moon is the best and fastest browser I have used. Chrome crashes all the time so I have removed it. I still have Opera, Safari and IE 8. I did read that they were working on making Pale Moon compatible for AMD powered machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
