Just put that bookmark in the bookmark toolbar in mozilla and go to the youtube page with HD video. After u are on that page just click that bookmark and u should see a download file prompt.

Hope that helps. If you want i can give the code for the others to... HQ and regular flv.

But it's true, they are ethically equal.

Both are illegal. You are stealing music. For example, if I hold a tape recorder to a stereo system playing a radio station, I am preforming an illegal activity. But who really cares...

Personally, I hate using these webportals to download youtube. You can use the JavaScript, but I use a Greasemonkey script called YouTube Perfect. It allows for Flash, Mp4, and download.

You're welcome, I'm glad to return the favor in the spirit that the ITT/TMO community gave me so much help.

Concerning the cache -- I remember wondering the same thing, and then looking for a cache purge in the menu, but finding none. So I delete the cache manually, every now and then, since I use mplayer quite often and that simple gui reminds me.

The .flv files from youtube are pretty small, as videos go, ("ls -lhR" shows around 10M each for the ones currently in my N800, (7.7M to 12.7M)), so it's no biggie to delete every few months, depending on how much you use it.

I put "mytube cache" in the tag section, please add whatever you might use in a forum search, if it's different than that, to add some utility to this thread.

Eh, there has been plenty of discussion about this on the internet; uploading copyrighted material to YT is probably illegal, but downloading content is neither black nor white legally.

There is no US law that says you can watch YouTube videos but not save them (and, remember, often times the copyright holder uploads the content).

Now you have an mp4 video file. I convert mine to digital auto MP4 files with nero burning rom witch is about 3-4 times bigger than an mp3. you can convert them to mp3's if you think space is more important than sound quality
Since February, Youtube encodes audio in its videos for all formats but "HD" in 128 kbit AAC. HD gets 232 kbit.

That's decent (128 kbit AAC is usually considered equivalent to 160-192 kbit MP3), but hardly "very high quality".

Any further reencodes you may or have to do will not increase the quality.

edit: Apologies, I didn't see the timestamp on the original post.
