Downloading youtube videos - doesn't show in 'downloads folder'

Hi there I am new to MACs etc and used to download videos from youtube using quicktime on Windows.
I have read the blogs re finding the video, going to Windows>activity; double-clicking once the buffering has happened, and then supposedly the clip should download to 'Downloads'. Mine just doesn't download - is there something I need to set in Preferences please?

YouTube also uses HTML5, among others, but be that as it may:
How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
http://perian.org/#watch
It's the video at the bottom of the page.
Also, there is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here:)
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10972178
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
and the RealPlayer Downloader that comes with RealPlayer 11 for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
which also downloads videos from YouTube.

Update fails and Embedded Youtube videos doesn't load

Problem 1: All update (beta, RC) fails in my computer. After download, when I click in apply button, Firefox closes and a process "firefox.exe"starts with (~2.800 kB) and nothing happens. Every time and every versions in my 2 computers (Vista and Seven). It occurs since ~10 version (9, 10, 11... i don't remember.
When I download the exe from Mozilla, the update works.
Problem 2: Since the ~10 version or flash version, mostly embedded youtube videos doesn't load in firefox (in all pcs again). In youtube site it works, but embedded only shows a black square. In Google Reader it occurs all the time.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version of the Firefox installer.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

In the .swf file generated, the video runs normally , but when I run my website trough the index.html file and I go
to the page where It is supposed to be, the video doesn´t show up, as if it never existed
I don´t know what may be hapenning.
Thank you very much.

Youtube videos doesn't play until fully loaded

Youtube videos doesn't play until they are fully loaded. It doesn't work for ANY streamed video, not just Youtube. It happens on both Firefox and IE. I tried to uninstall Flash and re-install it, but it didn't help. The only thing that solves it is restarting the computer, but it just returns after some time.
How can I fix it?

Hi, This is the info on the hardware acceleration and system requirements. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
The video card affects playback:Although Flash Player can display high-quality video and images by itself, hardware-accelerated scaling uses the video or graphics card on your computer to display images and video more clearly and quickly than Flash Player can on its own.
Not everyone can use it and that's why turning it off helps. Since you have it turned off, then this no longer affects you.
They may be some add on in the browser that is causing this. Kaspersky had been using a URL Advisor that is an "extension"
but whether you have it I don't know. In IE, in the manage add ons, look for "Show"(very light text) and look in all 4 categories for it.
In FF, it may be in the extensions. I'd look in all, addons, plugins & extenstions.
If you find it, disable it. If you don't find it, then all I could suggest is to disable all IE add ons except Shockwave Flash Object and Java and see it there is an improvement. Then do the same with FF.
Hope you find out what is causing it.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Mozilla (specifically) wont load Youtube videos, or streamed shows, but everything else. Why?

Most people will readily say this - but I have absolutely no idea what I've done to change any form of settings. However Mozilla won't play any Youtube videos or streamed shows. The screen just stays blank (black). I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash and that didn't fix it, and I've tried most of the troubleshooting options, none seem to work.
I've opened up Internet Explorer and they have no problems playing any video. It's just Mozilla. I'm not too sure what the issue is. I've googled such problems and any form of related issues seem to want to clear any cache or cookies - didn't work.
Anyways, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The most likely cause is the latest Flash update. Please see this article for more information: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

Video Doesn't Show While Capturing in PrCS4

Hi,
I was capturing my video into PrCS4 just fine last night and then when I switched tapes, my video didn't show anymore in the capture window. It plays on my camcorder and in the capture window I can press play/stop/etc. and the counter on the left is counting the time just fine. I also took the tape to work this morning where I have a SonyDVCam deck, but that gives me another issue where Pr recognizes it, but when I hit play on the deck it sounds like it's playing, but nothing appears on the capture screen and the counter doesn't even move. My camcorder is a Canon HV30, using Sony MiniDV tape, shot in DV widescreen. I tried turning off the camera and turning it back on, opening and closing the capture window (cause that seemed to work earlier in the evening), and restarting Premiere and the computer as well. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Jen

Set your camera to DV, not HDV. Preview will show. Or try Scenalyzer, much better for DV. If you have HDV there is no preview nor scenedetection during capture, as explained in the help file and manual. Try HDVSplit for HDV material, again much better than Adobe. Preview and scendetection are available with this application for free.

Video doesn't show?

I don't know if this has already been answered but the video podcasts that I have on my iPod I can find through the Top Rated Playlist but not directly through the Videos one. Does anybody know how I can put it so it shows up when you go to Videos?

It doesn't show up under Videos-->Video Podcasts?
Does the podcast show up under Music-->Podcasts on the iPod?
Also, open iTunes and connect your iPod. Click on the iPod when it appears in iTunes under "Source." Does the video podcast have a little TV/video icon next to it in iTunes?

Youtube video doesn't play on captivate project online

Hi there, I need help, I have 4 equal projects made on Captivate 8 for mac, the difference between them is the video from youtube they should play. When from my computer I run the links online the videos play OK, but from different computers one of the videos doesn't play, I already checked and changed the links for the youtube widget, but still no result. Any Idea or suggestion? Thx in advance!

You should use Flash debug version. When you do, you will se a security error:
SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file http://clienttestsite.x10.mx/beta/swfs/managers.swf cannot access local resource C:\Users\Demetrius McClain\Desktop\Value Insight\chevrolet\video.f4v. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.

Obviously, you hardcoded video path to your local machine. Change that.

Sound on iPad Mini for youtube videos doesn't work

iPad mini will play youtube videos just fine, but no sound. When accessed through facebook app, video tube, no sound. When accessed through YouPlayer, sound works fine. All other system sounds/music/etc fully functional. Nothing is muted, all volume controls that I can find are up.
Any ideas?

Obviously a problem with those apps then.
You can try this:
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

My Embedded YouTube Video Doesn't Work in Safari

Hi everyone,
I have a YouTube video in my site that works in Firefox but does not in Safari. I have been searching everywhere for an answer. I upgraded my Flash, changed the tags, title and description of my video... still nothing. The message I get when I try to play my video is "Sorry this video is no longer available." The strange thing is, the video works in Safari when I play it through YouTube.
What is going on here? Any help is appreciated!!
Bettina

We got this worked out via email.
For anyone reading this and experiencing the same problem, it turns out that the issue has to do with private YouTube videos, which won't play when embedded in a web page unless it's your video (or you have permission to view that particular video) and you happen to be logged into your YouTube account in that web browser.

Have had this problem for a long time and no updates has helped

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Youtube videos won't show duration time and elapsed time!

Hello all.
I have a problem with YouTube on iOS 5.1.1
Whenever I play a video from YouTube in safari there is no duration time or elapsed time dispayed .
However restoring from an iCloud backup fixed the problem.
A few days later this problem occurred again. So I searched iCloud for any safari related elements, I found com.apple.webviewservice
I google it but I couldn't find any relations with playing videos;(
Then I discovered videos from other web page play without any problems so the problem only occurs only when i play YouTube videos from safari
Also I think this is a problem with the video player not safari because I used another browser (mercury) and tried to watch a video on YouTube, same problem. So I hope any of you have enough knowledge unlike me to help me solve this problem.

Thanks for your support lllaass.
The YouTube app works just fine.
I just want to know what causes the problem.
Or is it a YouTube bug after all?

Flash Video doesn't show progress or load bar

I need to show a progress download bar and loading stripes
when stalling/loading (eg like youtube and millions of other online
video) otherwise the user thinks the video isn't loading or
playing.
I've tried two things:
1. Creating the flv using Flash Video Encoder results in a
40MB flv. I then insert the flv into my page in dreamweaver. The dw
tools pop up and I choose progressive download and my skin etc. The
resulting page plays the video fine but there's no progress bar or
loading stripes when the video is loading/stalling.
2. Inserting the video into a flash file and creating a swf
which is then inserted into the html page - as per the instructions
by media247 on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=189&threadid =1332318
- no luck doing that either, it shows the player controls with a
blank video screen until the video is buffered, then plays the
video and it stalls/loads with no stripes or load progress
indicator bar. (Same as above, really, but with a different skin
selection)
I've tried heaps of different skins and settings in the
encoder and flash importer thing but it just doesn't work - I've
had this same problem before and searched the net without joy. Can
someone tell me what might be wrong? Is there a simple setting in
the importer somewhere??
Thanks for your help
