I love youtube but it does have some bad things on it. Like with copyright and things.

Few days after publishing this post I came across a news that certain videos when dowloaded by copying from /tmp actually do not work. I think it is due to some kind of encoding or something else. So I am just thinking if that method becomes successful always .

I have never had a problem with just opening /tmp then waiting for the OS to make a tumbnail for the file.

The just drag it somewhere else and watch it.

I need that Video DownloadHelper on OSX though.

1) Also, another folder you can look into is the browser’s cache folder. You just have to look for large recent files, because they often won’t have any useful names or file extensions (but they can be renamed).

BTW, I haven’t had the problem with YouTube (because the files aren’t big enough), but I have had a problem with the /tmp folder and the cache folder not saving the entire video file with really big videos (specifically, I had a problem with videos over 60 MB). No matter what my cache was set to, the file would grow to 60 MB and just stop growing. I don’t stumble across too many .flv files larger than 60 MB, so it isn’t a problem normally.

4) I just wanted to throw my favorite Firefox addon into the ring: Video DownloadHelper (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006) I found it after having trouble with an .flv file that was larger than 60 MB.
