Devoid of Anything Useful

I decided to release a tut for newbs who use video dl services like keepvid. What happens when they are down? You don't even need them at all.

First you go to the video page.



If there is random stuff behind the ?v=[whatever], delete them up to and including the first "&". for this it is the red part. Then, change the "?v=" (blue) to "/v/". click go or hit enter.



The URL will radically change. Change the blue part to get_video. Removing the red part is optional, only when you are free. hit enter or go



Just save. It would have no extention and you cannot change the name yet. After it is done, add a ".flv" to whatever name you gave it. This format can be watched with RealPlayer, VLC media player, and other random freeware players.

To convert to avi or mpeg, use ffmpeg. The windows libraries are at http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/

more help can be found online, thus I know i wasted 10 minutes doing this.
