Cool [TUTORIAL] Do you wanna get youtube videos FAST & EASY?
Ok, so I decided to write this tutorial for people who really like going to youtube, and want to keep some videos they like, but HATE converting them, like me.

I'm going to try to make this tutorial easy and step by step.

Ok this is what you need:

1. Firefox (web browser)
2. Video Download Helper (add-on)
3. Your favorite Youtube video.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[NOTE] If you already have "download video helper" (the add-on) installed skip to step 7.

Lets Begin!

1. In your Firefox web browser go to Tools

2. Next, Go to Add-ons

3. Now go to Browse All Add-ons

4. Now in the search bar in the add-ons website type "video
downloadhelper"

5. Now click the 1st result the addon looks like this
---> If you're too lazy to do those 4 steps just click here Add-on

6. Just click Add to Firefox And do whatever firefox needs to
do. (install and restart)

Ok, now you have the "hard" part done...
Ready to download your video? Then continue reading:

7. Go to your favorite video (On YOUTUBE!)

-----NOTE!!! Make sure that is an HQ or HD video!

8. Now if you installed the Add-on, you'll see the three little balloons
moving (That means you got the option to download the video)

9. Next to the three balloons, there's gonna be a little arrow, click on it and
its gonna give you many options, some of them are:
"name of video" .flv
"name of video" .mp4
[HQ18] "name of video" .mp4
[HQ22] "name of video" .mp4
[HQ35]"name of video" .mp4

10. Choose [HQ18] Always! Because that gives you a HQ video
that is Zune HD friendly. So.. NO CONVERTION NEEDED!!!

11. Just sync your video to your Zune HD and...
DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully this guide will help many people that didn't know about it...
If it was helpful, a +rep would be nice.

Any questions just tell me and I'll try to answer them right away..
This is my FIRST tutorial, so... give me a break if its confusing, I tried to make it as simple as possible.

IF I missed something, Just tell me and I'll fix it!

Nice tutorial, but you are wrong, the downloader does, in fact, convert the video. But it is one easy step (after you download the downloader).

KeepVid: Download and save any video from Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm and more!

I use this website to grab mp4s off of youtube- no conversion needed.

Nope! Actually You are wrong my friend. Lol cause the program "grabs" the .mp4 video... Since YouTube Has the HQ videos in .mp4 format. Trust me... I would take a long time to convert. Plus... The add-on has the option to download a converter to convert .flv files into watever you need. But if u do it as the tutorial says... Theres no need to download the converter. :]

Research my friend! Research...

Well notice there are several types of mp4 files there. All three aren't available to grab, as YouTube only uses one. therefore there IS some type of conversion going on.

Research my friend! Research...


But regardless, great tutorial, +rep
