What can I use to download YouTube videos to my iMac?

I need to be able to download video from Youtube to my iMac so that I can burn them to DVD. I use the videos in classes that I teach but the download speed at school is sometimes slow and I'd like to have easier access to it. I am new to iMac and I do not know the progam to use. On my PC I would use Real Player. Can anyone explain this to me in "english"? Thanks.

Try Mactubes, works great for me.

Can't install open office; youtube videos + green screen; using call HP Tech Support fails

Can't install open office; youtube videos are green screen (audio ok); using call HP Tech Support fails (no reason given)
1) Can't turn McAfee Livesafe off, and think it's what's keeping me from installing Open Office. It downloads but can't install.
2) At work on wireless guest, youtube looks fine. At home on ethernet through DISH satellite, it's green screen. This is not he case with my older HP laptop connected to the same ethernet cable.
3) Why is HP tech support rejecting me, after I type everything in? If I ca't use it, don't make it an option!!!! The forums were choice #2, so here I am ... make me proud ...
Thanks everyone!!!!

An alternative to OpenOffice would be KingsSoft Office, it performs better and still Free:

McAfee products are problematic on some systems and suggest you uninstall it using their removal too then reboot:
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331
Build in Windows Defender should reactivate after the reinstall. As an antivirus product it is adequate as long as you practice safe surfing habits.
Windows key + X, select Command Prompt (Admin) and type: sfc /scannow
Let me know if it does not fix all or any corrupt system files.
Reboot and now try your Youtube.
I do not have an answer to what transpired between you and HP Support but only to say you should come here first.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

Assuming you do not have access to the "original" video/project and the YouTube video is the only copy, there is a method. Try "YouTube Downloader" which is a free software that allows you to download clips from YouTube as .mp4 files. You can then edit with Premiere, and re-encode again for upload to YouTube. Just keep in mind that you are re-compressing the video so there will be some quality loss. The better the quality of the original, the better the copy will hold up.

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.

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
"What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
"...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
"...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
My questions are:
1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
Many Thanks!

-I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
(Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
I am confused!
Help!

I CAN NOW... NOT DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS AFTER UPGRADING TO THE NEWEST VERSION OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER

LETS SOLVE THIS RIGHT NOW! I UPGRADED TO THE NEWEST ADOBE FLASHPLAYER AND NOW I CANNOT DOWNLOAD, USING MY REALPLAYER, ANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS WHICH I HAVE ENJOYED DOING FOR THE LAST, LIKE, 5 ******** YEARS!!!! MY FAITH IN ADOBE HAS JUST BEEN SHATTERED! PLEASE KEEP ME AS AN ADOBE CUSTOMER AND KEEP ME FROM SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER. FIX THIS PROBLEM PLEASE!!!

That's NOT (Repeat: NOT) a Flash Player caused phenomenon. YouTube is converting ALL their videos to HTML5 and RealPlayer (which is pure unadulterated garbage IMHO) isn't able to download them now, and won't be able to until they update their software to handle the format change.
Since Adobe DOESN'T run YouTube (Google does) they can't do anything about this. YOU CAN.
If you use Firefox, you can download AntVideoDownloader and use it to download YouTube videos.
1. It's a plugin, and NOT a full applicaiton, so it takes up less space on your HD.
2. It works with Flash Player (unlike RealPlayer which is a competitor program)
If you don't use Firefox, sorry. AntVideoDownloader DOESN'T work with IE, or Chrome.

I used to watch n download YouTube videos on Firefox till ystday. Now, the videos wont play and the download stopped working, while the videos do play on Chrome

I used to watch and download YouTube videos on Firefox. Since yesterday, videos have stopped loading, and an error message is shown saying videos can't be played. When I click on the download button, a new page pops up (which never used to happen before) which says "Server not found: Firefox can't find the server at r12---sn-h557sne7.googlevideo.com."
I have tried almost all suggestions found in various forums. The problem is not yet rectified. Its irritating.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You would be incorrect on that.
Commercial music videos are not to be downloaded, nor is there any difference between that and illegal torrent downloading of copyrighted material.
Such actions pertaining to commercial copyrighted videos / music videos (lots on youtube) is not legal.
Any distribution of videos, music or text without the express permission of the copyright-holder is copyright infringement
regardless of all of that, Google/Youtube clearly notes that its against their policy to allow same from their site on such materials (not all, but most of it there).
most such videos are not free and "open public domain" materials

I would like to use a copy of Mountain Lion for development, but the store tells me I cannot download it because my MacBook 4,1 is not compatible! What can I do to download it?
I have paid for it and all...

You can't do anything. See:
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
Your computer does not meet the requirements to run Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

"Activity window" in Safari no longer works to download YouTube videos. Why not? Workaround?

For years I have used Apple's recommended standard technique whenever I wanted to download a Flash video embedded in a YouTube page to my hard drive:
- Open a YouTube page and click on the video's "play" button to get it started;
- Press command-option-A to then open up Safari's "Activity Window" which lists all the components of the page;
- Find on the list the component for the loading Flash video, which is usually much larger (measured in MB rather than KB) than all the other components, and also is usually still in the process of loading, so it's easy to spot;
- Double-click the component's name on the list in the Activity Window, and voila, the video downloads to my hard drive.
This "trick" is described everywhere as THE standard way to download YouTube videos (and similar page components); and I have used it successfully for many years.
HOWEVER, sometime very recently (not sure when, exactly -- a few weeks or months ago) YouTube has changed the way its pages are coded, so that this technique no longer works. When I open the Activity Window, instead of seeing one large loading video file that's easily identifiable, I see a whole series of large files, all exactly 1.7mb big (no matter how large the file size of the actual video in question is), and they constantly increase in number -- at first there are two such files, but over the seconds and minutes more and more appear. Furthermore, many files with no named size are constantly loading and then disappearing. And here's the whole point: I've tried double-clicking on ALL of these files, dozens of ways on dozens of YouTube pages, and none of the are the video file I seek and none of them cause the file to download to my hard drive.
If I click on one the mysterious 1.7mb components, I indeed get a ".flv" downloaded to my hard drive, but it's not actually a Flash video; clicking on its downloaded file icon just brings up a blank box or an error message saying that it's not really a video file at all. I think it's some sort of "decoy" file or something to do with streaming Flash code.
To see what I mean, just go to YouTube, load any random video page, and then open Safari's Activity WIndow and try to download the video that way.
This happens on an iMac running Safari 5.1 on OSX 10.6.8, and also on a MacBook Pro running Safari 5.0.2 on OSX 10.6.5, and on a few other new-ish Macs I tested it out on, but failed to note their version numbers.
I'm presuming that this problem is not specific to my computer, but is caused by the way that YouTube altered the background code for their pages. I don't know if the glitch is an intentional attempt by YouTube to prevent downloads, or if it is an accidental "bug" of the new code. Either way:
How can I fix the problem? Is there some other lesser-known built-in way for Safari/Mac to download the new kind of YouTube videos? Or is there some reliable freeware or shareware or plug-in or extension or whatever for Safari that would enable YouTube downloading?
I tried a freeware program called "Evom" that was highly touted, but it too was thwarted by the new YouTube code and failed to extract any videos from the YouTube page, even though that's what the application was designed to do.
As a side note, I will say that I also have (though rarely use) FireFox for Mac, and the "Unplug" plug-in installed on it, and that ALSO "broke" recently and no longer has the capacity to recognize or download YouTube videos, even though previously it worked fine. This is why I think the issue is not specific to my set-up or computer, but is due to a change in YouTube's underlying code.)
Any help with an explanation, solution or workaround would be much appreciated (by me and by millions of others who I assume are facing the same problem!).

Carolyn:
I just now did exactly as you recommended. Result? No change.
Even after trashing the files and restarting and everything else, the Activity Window and YouTube behave exactly as they did before.
(I had actually previously tried something very similar to your recommendation, and it didn't have any effect then either.)
In case it's helpful, here's an example of what one of the mystery components that load endlessly in the Activity Window is listed as:
