Ahh, I tried it again and apparently Gazzump wants you to register after
you download one file. I'm not a big fan of giving away my personal
information so I guess I'm back to the manual process I previously
described. So I did notice one thing was that you get mp4 files more
often if you are using the html5 interface. To switch to that go to
youtube.com/html5 and click the Join HTML5 Beta link. After that it will
try to use the html5 player instead of Flash when possible and download
mp4 files instead of flv. I've heard that the flv files are just a
wrapper around mpeg4 anyway so most videos should be available in mp4
except some early uploads. Your Libre example came down in mp4 after
switching to html5 on youtube. That said, I was able to download the flv
version by opting back out of the html5 beta but the flv still loaded up
fine in QT Player and I was able to export the AIFF audio-only version
which I can then bring into iTunes to mp3 encode.

If you have the video loaded on the youtube page in Safari, open up the
activity monitor with option-apple-a. That is the list of all the pieces that
make up the page in a table. If you hunt through there there should be one very
large item (size is the second column) which is the video file itself. For
example, here is one:
http://v17.lscache8.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWTlNNVl9FSkNNNl9LR1pF&fexp=907027&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=35&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1279328400&key=yt1&signature=C635179F80C22DA2B15C5E1E3C46184E36A5DAFE.B1C972DD07DA59410E03086FE7CD1CB30C5C3392&factor=1.25&id=964e7f392b1ac33e
It was 21.8MB while everything else was 100KB or less. Copy that URL, go to the
download manager, command-option-l, then paste the URL. It should now download
the video file to your desktop.
I noticed that not all video files are mp4, but most seems to be. While I was
hunting around I also found this site which seems to do all this and make an
mp3 file much easier:
http://www.gazzump.com/
You paste in the youtube url, such as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4
and click the download button. On the next page find the Choose a Format popup and select
MP3 then VO right to the Convert button. After that you have to wait while they download
and convert the file. After that you should find a "Click here to download YouTube-
'Star Wars (John Williams Is The Man)' medley - Corey Vidal and Moosebutter - a cappella
tribute" or whatever video you did link. Clicking that should drop an mp3 on your
desktop.

Hi,
Well, there is something called Tooble which will allow you to download YouTube videos. Unfortunately, when
you preview the application seems prone to crashing quite frequently, and the developer is not responding or
fixing this issue even though it is being continuously updated. Also, the button called "Audio
only" does not only make it into audio, but still downloads the video as well as makes an audio file.
THis applies to either button, whether it is "Download" or "Audio only". Unfortunately,
for some weird reason, it uses .wav format but, if you can deal with that, you can just convert.
To download, however, you will need to purchase Tooble Pro which is $5 I
believe. That is the only one I was able to find, and I'm actually pretty happy
with it as it allows you to download videos, search, and brows your
subscriptions on your YouTube account. Despite its shortcomings, it works
nicely when it wants to.
Regards,
Nic
