Save Youtube Video from Safari
July 13th, 2009 | Author: Sunny
My sister was being interviewed on TV something about plastic bag tax. Her husband wants to save this interview, but they have already missed the broadcasting time. And thank to the Internet, it has been showing on Youtube. haha. So, he wants me to help him to save it and crop my sister’s part out. I looked around, but did not find any good converter. There was a site that actually you can copy Youtube’s URL, and convert the video. However, the quality was not good at all, and no sound!!! (still couldnt figure out why)
And I found this: http://www.usingmac.com/2009/1/20/free-download-hd-youtube-video
You can save youtube video from Safari! Following this steps on Safari:
1. Open YouTube URL to video. Append URL with &fmt=18 to view HD video (you may not need it if you don’t need HD video)
2. Show up Activity Monitor (Command-Option-A)
3. Seek for file with largest size and Option-Click it
4. The download should be started with default name video.mp4
Isn’t it nice? and I used iMovie to crop my sister’s part out.
