For Google Chrome users, just right-click on 'Other bookmarks' and select 'Add Page...' Name it appropriately, and paste the link into the URL field. :D

So... Youtube recently went widescreen.
If I download them and put them on an iPod, do they go on that in widescreen? Would they be really tiny?

EDIT: I just tried to download a video and got slammed with "Invalid Parameters."

Lemme guess... you used robbie's method? Youtube probably changed stuff on their servers, so robbie's nifty trick won't work anymore until someone finds the new code used - the method depends on certain arguments (as I'm sure you can tell), and those arguments have most probably been changed/removed/new ones added so the old way no longer works.

As for the iPod question, I have no idea. If they come down widescreen, then they should been widescreen on the iPod. I haven't watched any youtube vids lately though.

Dern.


Oh well. I mentioned it to a friend and he linked me to the video downloader program he uses. Faster than online ones, and the vids turned out pretty well on my iPod.

I use either the Firefox, downloader, or the realplayer one, they are reliable.

It is currently working for me on anything I try. In case the code got messed up or something last time I posted it:

Code: Select all

javascript:window.location.href%20=%20'http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id='%20+%20swfArgs['video_id']%20+%20"&fmt=18"%20+%20"&l="%20+%20swfArgs['l']%20+%20"&sk="%20+%20swfArgs['sk']%20+%20'&fmt_map'%20+%20swfArgs['fmt_map']%20+%20'&t='%20+%20swfArgs['t'];
Always HQ or best quality.
