In February I wrote a post and offered a JavaScript code snippet that helps you to easily download a YouTube Video by adding this code to your bookmark list. The API of YouTube changed a few days ago, so the script no longer works.
Here is the new updated code snippet. Please update your bookmark or just right-click on the following link and choose “Bookmark this Link”:
Its been a while that I wrote my last post … seems to have been a busy time.
End of November 2008 I needed to download in entire Picasa Webalbum, so I looked for a nice solution for this. Today a colleague posted me a trick in IRC to easily download YouTube Videos. And right about this evening I needed this trick – need to have 2 short clips offline available.
Now I just want to share this feature. Its quite easy and should work with every browser that supports bookmaks.
The only thing you need to do is to bookmark this link:
Just add this link to your bookmark list (right-click > bookmark this link) and give it a nice name. When you are surfing on youtube and want to download the current video, just click this bookmark link and the video will be downloaded in the best quality – yes, it’s that easy.
I got this trick from a colleague but I also found an online source here.
