As I said earlier, alot of them don't work anymore, it's a matter of finding on that does.

So really its illegal as downloading entire dvd-r movies,and peoples VCR tape archives , even though its rubbish quality !

And we should care about some outdated irrelevant law because?

If content was made universally available at a reasonable price as opposed to stupid staggered releases "pirating" wouldn't need to be the issue it is today. The only thing that is stopping that from happening is shortsightedness, greed and the desire to retain "control" over media content (which went out the door with the advent of Napster in 1998)

647287 2008-03-09 00:32:00 Umm.. I wonder if this might be worth adding this type of question to the FAQ?

The method I use that works every time is to pull the downloaded video from firefox cache then playback with media player classic using FFDSHOW codec.
Not an elegant one button solution but it does not matter how much youtube messes with the HTML it works!

If you need to covert it, the likes of SUPER work well enough.

1. Clipfinder (from www.ashampoo.com) is a free clip locator. Just type in a topic and it searches several sites and lists the results.
2. ClipFisher (www.ashampoo.com) will download, let you edit , play and convert video clips. Dead easy to use and only costs $15 us.
I've used both heaps to find stuff for various class lessons.

Exactly. In the end,the corporations lose for being stubborn.Have a look at 'miro'.Torrent based CMS thingie.
If you could order higher quality for a small price it would be even better.
