help on saving youtube vids

[jackc]

I've tried using keepvid.com, which lets you save a file as .flv. I'm able to play it using VLC player, but it won't let you skip around in the video, it only works if I play it straight through. I assume it's a bug but I'm not sure.

Anyone know a better method for saving youtube videos?

To view the video you could try FLV Viewer -

VLC will let you export the movie to pretty much any format, such as mp4, you will then be able to fast foreward and stop and all that.

That's a cool app, thanks. But I wasn't able to play the .flv file in QuickTime, which it says you can do after you install Perian. It worked if I converted the file though.

Edit: works now, I think I just had to restart QuickTime. Sweet!
