One of the primary objectives of this blog is directing readers to "tools" which will simplify an activity. YouTube, for example, has greatly simplified the distribution of video content on the internet. It made my list of Favorite Deliberate Utilities of the 00's. So - when a friend emailed me a question which, in my mind, would make YouTube even better, I was taken a little aback.
Here is the back story on why I'm writing this post. Recently, I received a request from a close friend asking me how to DOWNLOAD video from YouTube. Personally, I'd never thought much about that. Upon reading the email I thought to myself, "isn't YouTube's existence predicated on the fact that you can upload and share video with the world? Surely, you can't download stuff."
I was wrong*.
In the event you want to download a video from YouTube, check this link out: Saving YouTube video as MP4
The meat of the instructions starts at the "Add a bookmarklet" section. There is even a handy video guide directing you on how to save a video from YouTube using the Bookmarklet.
Have a great weekend.
* Not all videos have the option to download enabled. Only certain videos have this feature.
