Download videos from Youtube, Google Video and iFilm directly to your computer (and how to convert .flv files to other formats)
Today I feel like progamming a little bit, but although my knowledge in PHP and Javascript is very limited, after a couple of hours working in front of the screen, I have written a code which I consider really useful to many people, because it should allow you to do something that until now you could only obtain with other troublesome methods: Download any Youtube video directly….with no installation of anything (no Grease Monkey scripts), compatible with all operative systems and computers.
I have also added the possibility of download, equally, videos from Google Video and iFilm. And, as an special gift, I explain how to do something quite requested: How to change format of those videos (.flv or .mov) to other types like .wmv, .mpg, .avi or .mov. Here we go.
Download the videos
Note: Remember to add .flv extension to the downloaded file (.mov in iFilm). In order to visualize it, you will need to convert it to other format (as I have explained below), or use an specific FLV files player (like FLV Player) / MOV (like Quicktime Alternative).
Changing videos’ format
Ok, now we have our videos downloaded in .flv format (or .mov), but, for some unknown reason, we need them in .avi, .wmv, .mpg or .mov format. There is no problem at all. There are a few freeware software which allows to realize that function perfectly. The first one is Riva FLV Encoder (download), and this website explains how to use it. The one I recommend is easier, called CinemaForge (shareware without restrictions) and I teach its use with the following flash animation.
How to convert from .flv to other formats with CinemaForge
If you also want to edit, add titles or special effects to your videos easily (as I do in my Video of the Day section), don’t hesitate about it, your program is Pure Motion EditStudio.

Is anyone else having trouble getting downloads from vsocial?
Every time I try, I get an invalid link msg, yet the syntax for the link is correct.
Even with Videodownloader, I can be watching the video and when I hit the Videodownloader button, I get the invalid link msg.
Thanks!

La mejor recomendacion es bajar “ares tube” que es un browser que permite añadir links a una lista de descarga, y bajar videos de you tube, google video y otros 30 sitios a formato avi, mp4 (ipod) o mpg

It’s not possible to use Video Downloader to download Google Videos anymore, they changed their web page system. Will you work to fix the problem?
Thanks

pornotube.com changed the position of the video resource recently.
You try
http://xtdownload.s244.xrea.com/
It is late and is unstable.
Try it how many times it is.
