I'm talking short videos of rock/pop clips. I tried you tube for stuff, but not sure if it's ok to download from there or not.

Prolly not a mac question, but hoping you guys can point me in the right direction now I have this great screen!
 
Not sure I get this.

This is part of the screen I get. But I can't 'right click' these links. (there are dozens of them).

Actually, it's the reverse. That's exactly what Keepvid and Clipnabber do, and with the bookmark (easiest way but HQ only), you don't even have to leave the YouTube page.

But Keepvid has to be downloaded and installed, right? I was offering a method that wouldn't require additional software to be installed, as I said in my first post. Unless I'm missing something, it appears Clipnabber does the same thing that file2hd does, which requires leaving the YouTube page to paste. I'm sure there's quite a few sites like those two out there.

  1. Find a video on YouTube.
  2. Copy the URL from your address bar.
  3. Go to www.file2hd.com
  4. Paste the URL
  5. Check the box to agree to the terms
  6. Click the Movies button to filter out everything but videos
  7. Press "Get Files"
  8. After a few seconds, you'll be given a link that you can right-click and download.

Or you can paste the URL on http://clipnabber.com and click Nab Video! and you'll get download links like these:

No.

Or if you don't mind adding a bookmark…
  1. Find a video on YouTube.
  2. Press the bookmark.
  3. Right-click the "Download as MP4" text that appears near the video to download.

OK, I must be having a "senior moment", but what bookmark are you talking about? I've tried bookmarking KeepVid, but that doesn't do anything. I see you can paste a URL on the KeepVid page, like the other two sites, but that involves leaving the YouTube page. I don't see any way to avoid leaving the YouTube page to do this.

The bookmark that's on this page (I posted it earlier in the thread).
