Ripping YouTube Videos
Tuesday, February 27, 2007

Want to rip something off of YouTube? Who doesn't?

Enter Vixy.

Seems the servers are pretty slammed, but if/when it works, this will be big.

This is great for my job - I'm always downloading commercials to show on client's electronic signs. This will save me tons of time.

Thanks Josh - the internet rules!!!

No software to download, and it converts it for you. Works perfect: http://vixy.net/flv_converter

It has never had a delay for me yet. It just downloads it for you and converts it for you from the flv. Very easy and works perfect.

Another site, if you want a more advanced one to check out is: keepvid.com - that will allow you to save videos from any of about 40 different sites, but this one also requires you have a flv converter program - that's why I prefer the first link.

There's other sites like that out there, but that's the first I've seen that actually lets you convert to something other than a flash file. Very cool.
