Can't download Youtube videos any more
« on: August 17, 2009, 01:00:37 am »

Argh! Today I discovered that it's become more or less impossible to download Youtube videos any more. Anyone got anything that can work? It's not even like I'm keeping protected or restricted content, which have crappy quality anyway. I just want my funny clips in my hard drive!

Anyone have anything that works with Youtube right now?

Oh sweet. KeepVid works. Looks like the crummiest technology works the best for now.

Anyway, this seems like a total dick move on Youtube's part. The obstrusive ads that pop up on the video, the banners asking you to buy the music in the video... geez... are they trying to chase away their users to more user friendly sites? Their only advantage is user size in the first place.

Here's KeepVid: http://keepvid.com/

That has got to be the weirdest cadence I've heard in a very long time.  What on earth are you listening to?

I had to look up "cadence" on wikipedia, and I'm not listening to anything unless you count my computers annoying fan, no music anyway.
It was supposed to be some kind of poem or spell or chant or nursery rhythm or something like that. I was thinking of witches when I wrote it. I just got inspired by how the "Google google video download" rythmed, and how it was repeted by diferent posters like some kind of chant.
