> If you want to upload the original videos, and as such, want them > downloaded, you can try the tool, clipconverter.cc I think Manuel knows _how_ to download youtube videos (youtube-dl for example). The point is that youtube does not _allow_ this. Check the youtube terms of use [1] section 5 paragraph B. Nkansah, you dismiss commons and its "upload wizzard" yet you seem not to have followed the advice to use the tool labs video converter/uploader. I've used it before, it is painless. In that light I find the anti-commons soapboxing rather annoying. Yes, the native interface should be improved, and unfortunately the community voted not accept patent encumbered formats, but we DO have a feasible, userfirendly way of uploading large video content.
