How to rip videos from YouTube

Posted by Andy at 8:36 AM
Ripping from YouTube has become increasingly easier, I've set up the following tutorial in such a way that even the most novice user can easily grab something off YouTube and upload it here.

Things you need

  • browser of your choice, that is it

Step 1:
Go to YouTube and find a full episode you'd like to bring here (preferably one that isn't here in HD already). I'll be ripping PSY - GANGNAM STYLE which you can find here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0





Step 2:
Once you've found the YouTube video you'd like to rip copy the entire YouTube URL, for mine it will be
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0
then head over to KeepVid.com

Step 3:
When keepvid loads paste your YouTube link into the field and hit download


Step 4:
You might have to download their java applet, its perfectly fine. Once you hit download another menu will drop down and ask you what format you'd like to save it in. select MP4! DO NOT select anything else I'll explain later. 


Step 5:
You video will be downloading automatically once it has finished & there you have it! no programs just 2 websites and that is all you need. 

Why only mp4?

mp4 is an a/v container sort of like mkv , so you aren't re-encoding a youtube file which isn't good. It is already compressed as its streaming. I'm not going to get into the technical details of why you shouldn't re-encode a video that is already encoded or streamed for that matter. Just take my advice you don't want to do it.
