So complicated meh, just use Keepvid.com

Great one! I used to download youtube movie from one website. This is really useful than that.
September 3rd, 2006 at 2:14 pm
i prefer this extension than keepvid.com and javimoya.com
where you do not need to copy and paste url to other site.
Furthermore, if keepvid and javimoya down,
you cant download anything

September 3rd, 2006 at 3:15 pm

i prefer keepvid and javimoya because:
- it would be very rare for both sites to go down: if one is down, i can still use the other one
- less hassle in installing plugsins etc
- copyying and pasting URLs are so quick, i dont even notice it

Hey guys,
I have an iMac G5 running tiger 10.4.7 and I an having a wierd problem. Whenever I go to a site that has an embedded youtube, flash or some kind of video, there is no sound. If it a quicktime file there is no problem. There is not sound no matter what broswer I use, firefox, camino, safari, or shiira. And keep in mind that about a week ago I was not having this issue.
Help Would be awesome
Thanks!

Try KeepV.com fast and simple…

Try kissyoutube.com, you will like it and it is very simple to use.
On the URL you are watching youtube video,
Eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?video_id=xxxxx
Just change to,
http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?video_id=xxxxx
Then you can directly download the video.
And it’s browser compatible and FREE. Hope it helps! =)
