How to download YouTube clips?

I used to be able to download clips from YouTube by clicking on large files (over 5mb). Large files are no longer available and therefore downloading clips is no longer possible. Does anyone know of an alternative method?

Mac Tubes should've worked.
You launch Mac tubes and a viewer list pops up
In Mac Tubes search box type the name of the videos you're trying to view.
Look for your video in the list.
Click on the video.
It should play.
While it's playing there is a gear icon at the lower left bottom of the player screen, a drop down menu appears and Download is the last option that will allow to download YouTube video in the formats that are available.
The available formats are MP4, 720p HD or 1080p HD.
Try each one to see which formats resolutions can be downloaded.
Sometimes not all video resolutions are available for download.
I use this app all of the time for many years in order to download YouTube video.
I have tons of clips and video in iTunes and on my iOS devices.
This should work for you.
Make sure you've downloaded the latest version that works with your version of OS X.

I got a Macbook Air (Mid 2013) with OS X (10.8.4). I'm using Safar 6.0.5
Can somebody please tell me how to download youtube videos using this web browser?

Clip Grab is not functioning well. Some of the downloads come to halt abruptly in between. Some others dont download completely, though Clipgrab shows they are 'completely downloaded'
Anyother solution?

If I told you how, I'd also have to get rid of this thread. We can't discuss how to circumvent copyright restrictions, and many Youtube videos have just that.

How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer.

How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer??? Looking to download some videos people created using Dr. Jean music. My kid used Dr. Jean in preschool and wanted to keep singing them at home.
Looking for a friend that doesn't use a computer. I myself have downloaded some kids educational stuff and added to itunes and then put on ipod/ipad using firefox.
Is there an easy way, so they don't go to the photo roll??
thanks in advance.

There are some Apps you can use, but be careful they will only download these videos inside the App, so you won't ba able to play them in your video app or share them.
Most popular is the app called "Video Download" but there are a lot of alternatives for free and even with more quality which you can pay for.

How to download youtube video in Mp4 format from safari ?

Does anybody knows how to put link and when video plays just click on it and it will download. I had that option a while ago and cant find the way to make it again. Or if you know any other way....

Using Safari 5.0.1 and Snow Leopard I used part of what I found online and stumbled across the final solution indicated by brackets {}
From <http://mac-dvd.com/mac-guide/how-to-download-youtube-video-on-mac-for-free.htm l>
Step 1: Download the videos
1. Find your favorite YouTube video. This step is pretty self explanatory. Be sure to use Safari and search for your favorite YouTube Video. {Select 720 p or greater.}
2. Next, you need to go to 'Window' and down to Activity. Click on 'Activity' to bring up the next dialog box.
3. Once the dialog box has popped up you need to look for the YouTube page among all the page titles and files listed in the window.
4. Once you locate it and expand all the activities going on in the page, look for the largest file size (this is shown in the right hand side). Most of the files found in a YouTube page are small files while most FLV files are several megabytes.
Once you locate the largest file,
What I found out:
{Hold down the SHIFT OPTION key and double click on it. The video should start downloading in your download and be named videoplayback.mp4.}
What I found out in the videos I tested is that if you did not use 720p or higher, SHIFT OPTION double clicking or just double clicking on the large file in the activity window downloaded an FLV file, which you then have to convert to mp4.
Hope this helps.

How to Download Sound Clips in Flash Player 9?

Some of our audio book publishers use the Adobe Flash Player
9 to offer sound clips. I am quite familiar with how to download,
to our audio books Web store, other types of sound clips such as
wma and mp3 but haven't figured out how to download the Flash
Player 9 files.
I would appreciate advice on how to download the Flash Player
9 sound clips.

Go to this Adobe website to see what version you currently have: Flash Player Checker. Then there's a link on the page to send you to the download page for the latest version. This is the only page one should use to download and install the Flash Player.

How to download youtube video + Mac OS 10.6.7 + Firefox 4.0

Can someone please tell me how to download a youtube video to my computer in a format that can be burned on a DVD. I am on a Mac OS 10.6.7 and Firefox version is 4.0.1
Thanks.

The short answer is that youtube videos aren't meant to be downloaded, and are usually the intellectual property of the poster. I would suggest sending a message via youtube to the video poster and requesting a copy of the video file. Explain to the poster what you intend to do with the video and why.
If they are willing to send you a copy of the video file, then from there you would want to use DVD creator software if you want to make it a playable DVD. You may be able to find a free DVD creation program from Cnet's download.com

C3-00: How to download Youtube videos and watch th...

Hey there everyone!
I got a new Nokia C3 as a birthday present yesterday. Yet I've already encountered a few problems. First of all: how can I download video's from YouTube to my phone? And is it possible to download just pictures from the internet? I've tried, but that Opera thingie seems to not support a proper 'download' function for images and the like...which is, honestly, kind of disappointing, because with my previous Samsung phone, I could download pictures without any problems...Same goes for music files, btw. Is there any manual that describes how to download music files to the phone? I don't want to be restricted to the audio files and the wallpapers that have already been installed on the phone, I'd like to personalise it a bit to my tastes...
As for a general overview of the phone: it's very fancy, but it's kind of difficult to use. The interface is kind of a mess, and it seems that a lot of basic functions, like adjusting the brightness of the screen and the timer for the lights. When I discovered there was no function to adjust this whatsoever, I was severly disappointed, since the light of the phone goes out ridiculously quick and I find it very annoying. I have seen on the forums that there seems no option for this, so I suppose I will have to rest my case on this one...
Anyway, I hope this doesn't turn out to be a fluke of some kind. In any case, it is nice to meet you all, and I eagerly await some of your kind help!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
if you want to download videos from YouTube you should try and install the program YouTube Dowloader which is available free from OVI Store. If you dont have OVI Store installed on your mobile you can use your computer to download it.
If you want to copy music from your computer to your mobile you might want to use OVI Player rather than OVI Suite,(i found it better as it transfers the artwork of the album covers and using OVI Suite no artwork was transferred). At least that was the case for me although my phone is a C7 and not the C3
As regards to the time out for the display the C7 has a maximum of 1min don't know what the C3 is but it seems like they don't allow much more time to save battery life.
Hope some of this helps but as i say as i don't have the same model.
All the best

Downloading Youtube clips off of net into .mov files-is this possible?

Hello, is there a way to download a youtube clip off of the internet and get it into a .dv or .mov file? I would like to get it into a quick time file and onto a CD. I will post this in the other forums, but if anybody has a solution, I appreciate it. Thanks.

Yes it is very easy.
First, download Perian
http://perian.org/
no Quicktime user should be without it, but I don't know whether you need it for this exercise, as I already had it when I started using Youtube.
In the Window menu of Safari, choose Activity.
You will see all elements of the page-
Double-click the element which is of the flash movie file (this is usually the largest one if loaded, or the one which is still loading if movie is still loading)
The flash movie will download, but you need to add .flv file extention on the end of the filename.
It will then work with Quicktime, just like any other movie.

Recently, I find a very good program that makes a perfect solution for the youtube video download and conversion.

Any video Converter converts almost all video formats including DiVX, Xvid, MOV, rm, rmvb, MPEG, VOB, DVD,WMV,AVI TO MPEG-1,MPEG-2,MPEG-4, 3GP or FLV movie formats. It also supports importing FLV video directly from YouTube and Google Video.

How to download a clip?

HI Folks,
I am new to mac. can anybody please guide me how can i download a movie clip{youtube}
to my iphoto or imovie to watch it offline ?thanx.

I don't know of a way to do it specifically with YouTube. Google Video used to have a download option for some videos.
Regardless of how you get the file, you can just drag it into iTunes so you can watch it on your iPod. If you have your iPod set to sync all videos manually, it will do it automatically for you. Otherwise you have to manually check the video that you dragged into iTunes.

How to download movie clips to Mac OS X 10.4.11 from Nikon Coolpix S640?

Hi ~ I have photos and one short movie clip on my SD card. I downloaded all the photos into iPhoto. Since the movie clip was on the same SD card I thought that it would automatically download to "somewhere"? I did find out that it would be a AVI file, I believe. I tried to find it somewhere on my computer but could not. Where did it go?
Luckily, I did not erase it from my SD card. I am wondering how to correctly download this movie.
I have not installed the Nikon software because it overtakes my photos in iPhotos and I had a scare when I thought I lost all my photos. I uninstalled it and my photos reverted back to normal in iPhoto. Who knows, maybe I did it wrong initially. Anyways, I contacted Nikon C.S. and they said if I did not want to use the Nikon software to download with, then the movie clip would be viewable in QuickTime. I could not find it there, either. I hope you can assist.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

How to download Youtube to Realplayer when "Download" tab no longer appears?

Using the newly-installed Firefox 5, the "Download" tab no longer pops up at the upper right of the video screen as it used to when using the earlier version. How can this be corrected? Alternatively, can the oder version of Firefox be reinstalled?

When surfing thro net exhaustively, i found the answer to my question. After you download the add on , you must select the preferences options, menu and then in it, the general menu. You please enable picture and video tab enabled. Select the video, allow play, use firefox tools, downthem all, click on it and go the picture and video tab, get the sniffed video there ,tick it and download.ok. This is the easiesy way of avoiding so many unwanted handles in the downloader. rename the video and play with available players. if they do not play, play the video with vlc media player. This downloader is a marvellous add on from firefox, which can download ''''downloadable videos,'''' not all videos.
