We all (most of us) know the trick of adding "fmt=18" to the end of the urls to get much better quality, and better sound. How can I download these videos keeping them in that highquality? When I download them using the firefox add on "better youtube' it seems to put them back into old sound/video quality. Having the better audio is very important in my situations. Thanks. |

I tried this on a a few videos. It may not be foolproof but whatever. It downloads in MP4 quality. 1. Download CacheViewer 2. Using your &fmt=18 php trick, load the video. Watch the url in the status bar to find out where the file is located. 3. Open up CacheViewer [Tools -> Cacheviewer] 4. In the Filter: Enter some major keywords from the url. [eg. googlevideo] 5. Double click the one you want. Under MIME/Type it should read video/mp4. The download ought to be fast since you've already technically downloaded it and it's still in Firefoxes cache. |
