Your Ultimate You Tube & Flash video (.flv) downloader

You liked someones video post at You Tube, now you want to download it. Alas! You Tube does not allow any direct link for downloading the content !!
Don't worry all you need is a set of tools.

The first tool you need is a You-Tube video grabber add-on. There are many add-on available to choose from. One of them is -Keep Tube
It allows you to download the flash video file (.flv) from you-tube like websites to your computer. Download and install it.

The next needed tool is Flash Got. It is a very popular add-on. It allows to crawl the whole website and download all the links and files from that website. It can also redirect download to your favorite download manager. Here you can find Flash Got.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220

Third step requires the configuration of the flash got add-on. Here how it is done -
First open the flash got option from Tools->Flash Got-> More Options.



Now in the General Tab check the Download Manager Option and select your favorite download manager.
Also check the option Alt+Click = FlashGot if you like more control over your downloads.



Now you are all set to download .flv files from any site!
Lets see how it is done. Find any you tube video which you want to download.
Check the lower left side of your browser it should be dark-green other than faint-green.




This will pass the download link of the video file to your favorite download manager.
You can also download the video file by clicking here -

  2. I have not installed the Internet Download Manager in my computer... Will I have to do it to "check this field"? as I can't check the field, my installation of downloading flv file is pending... I have successfully installed flashgot.

  3. No, You can use the browser default or your default download manager. IDM is a good download manager. Its my favorite nothing else. You do not have to check the box if you are not using an external download manager.

  6. I use another video converter ultimate to download videos from video-share sites.
    and it worked, it is so powerful that it can also convert DVD to Galaxy Tab.
