Hacking YouTube Videos
UPDATE: YouTube has reworked their site again in response to this article. They absolutely hate us. If you get an error when trying to download a YouTube video, please try some of the plug-ins and scripts listed in step #3.YouTube.com is a great resource. Not many sites allows users to freely upload, view, and share video clips like YouTube does. YouTube even lets users easily post videos on their blogs and personal web sites. But because anyone can upload a video clip on YouTube, copyright violations are rampant.
In an effort to prevent the widespread distribution of illegal copied video files, YouTube encodes its video files in the Adobe Flash format, which prevents viewers from downloading files and making digital copies.
Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to rip video files off YouTube.com and convert them for Apple TV, iPod Video, iTunes and iPhone. This trick will work on Mac or PC using Firefox or Internet Explorer.

You aint kidding about the "YouTube absolutely hate us". I've noticed this that every time a new "convert youtube" site or converter comes out, they're straight in there creating some sort of hack to prevent it.
Faarrk, man. If they don't want people stealing music, don't let the commercial music companies upload, or make it clear anything and everything is up for grabs. Why have a sharing site and then make it impossible to share?
Oh yeah... protection of revenues/
They're google now. And look at all those google ads you'll be missing out on in the future if you didn't have to keep coming back to their site to view the videos they didn't make or pay for.
...
Capitalism. Who'd be bothered?
Love your work though!

Let me get this straight, 'they' want u to sign in and register, and you upload your new video- your own homemade video.
and when you want to search video and download it, 'they' just say FUCK YOU MAN...
keepvid.com not working VS youtube.
