Downloading youtube videos without 3rd party plug-ins.

:) Another lazy Sunday morning.

But i've got a beautiful trick about how to download youtube videos without any 3rd party plug-ins installed. This trick can be achieved only using Ubuntu desktop edition. I'm using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04. Maybe this trick can be applied to other linux variants. So if you're using windows, just ignore this trick :)

OK, now get online and open your lovely browser firefox. Get in into your youtube videos. Just let it stream till end. After that, go to your filesystem and browse to your temp directory. There's one *.flv or even *.mp4 file in it. Copy and save it to your preferred directory and you're done!

:) this is so simple and no need to think about plug-ins!


NOte: for ubuntu users, if you want to use plug-ins to download youtube videos, try "unplug" for firefox.
