Useful To Know Before We Study Youtube

There's a site called keepvid - http://keepvid.com/ - that automates the process of downloading video from youtube to your computer. It's much easier than the old technique, which involved locating address info inside the html code of the page your video was on. All you have to do is go to the video you want to download, copy the URL from the address bar, go to keepvid, paste the URL where it tells you to and click download. Then you choose which file format you prefer and where you want to save it on your computer. Easy - and it solves all the issues associated with trying to stream video directly from youtube. I use this trick to download music videos of rare editions of songs, then convert them into straight audio files to put on my ipod.
