Download YouTube Videos as MP4

Adds an option to download YouTube videos as MP4 files. Unlike most other scripts, this one downloads the videos directly from YouTube and doesn't connect to any other site.



Downloaded videos can be played using applications like VLC, MPlayer, iTunes. The script works in Firefox (using Greasemonkey) and Opera. For other browsers, you can add a bookmarklet.

YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.

YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.

Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.

@rkn8r:
It's not necessary to do that. All YouTube videos are displayed at: youtube.com/watch?v=*.

@atr3yu_junky:
You need a video player that is able to play MPEG-4 videos. Try VLC ( www.videolan.org/vlc/ ), it's one of the best video players you'll ever find and it comes with most popular codecs. Other players: iTunes, QuickTime, Winamp, MPlayer etc.

On the bottom right corner of the Firefox browser window, you will see a monkey icon. Right click on that, and click on manage user scripts. Once the window opens, click on the Download YouTube Videos as MP4, and on the right hand side, under the "included pages" add: http://youtube.com/*. Then, you should be set.
