How to Download Youtube Videos

this post is for Jasmine

alright. so, you want to download videos from youtube and you have no idea how? well, i'm about to tell you the easiest way for me to do it with this simple tutorial.

first thing first. use firefox. you don't want to use internet explorer for this as it is inconvenient. once you had firefox or already have it, you have to download an extension called unplug.
click to enlarge image. go to it's website (number one). then navigate to the download area and download it (number 2). when all download is completed, you will need to restart firefox. if all is done correctly, you will see a fish icon (number three).
----------------------------------------
example:
lets say you are in youtube and you like this video. just click on the fish!
of course, it ain't that simple. you have to choose the right link to save. usually, you need to save the link that has the same name as shown in the address. but if you are on youtube, as long as the ending of the link is gibberish, then that's it. you can ignore the rest.
after clicking save, then you can save it in your wanted directory. give it a name and don't forget to add a [.flv] extension. this is very important.
then you're done! you now know how to save a youtube video into your computer. you can of course save content from other websites as well.

since this tutorial is suppose to teach you how to download the video only, i really shouldn't be teaching you how to watch the videos. but since i'm such a nice guy, i'll tell you.

just go to this site to download and install the program needed to open the files you save with the [.flv] extensions.
