Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

• Using Safari, open the page with the YouTube video you want to snatch.
• While the video is loading, open the Activity window (command-shift-A).
• The video will be the largest file downloading.
• Click on it, and copy it (command-c).
• Open the Downloads window (command-shift-L).
• Paste the item you just copied (command-V)

This will download the video to your specified download location as "video.flv". After it downloads, you may wish to rename it.

This file is playable by Quicktime - right click (or option-click), and select "Open With..." If Quicktime Player isn't listed, select "Other...", and navigate to Quicktime Player in your Applications folder. To avoid having to do this in the future, check the "Always open with" box.

You're done, with no additional software needing to be installed!

But it don't works with iTunes - GianMarco Tavazzani

At the end of the day I have to use TubeTV with his sometime strange behaviour!
Incredible that still now no one browser can do it with some plug in!

Or, try this... - sukayser

This didn't work at all for me. QT said it wasn't a movie, and iTunes wouldn't accept it. (On a G4/450, running OS 10.4.11),

Incidentally, the Activity Window gets opened with Option-Command-A, not Shift-Command-A.
