Javascript bookmarklet to save YouTube videos

Written September 4. 2006, at 23:27 GMT.

Here's the code I came up with today:

javascript:if(/youtube\.com\/watch\?/.test(document.location)){document.location="http://www.youtube.com/get_video?"+document.body.innerHTML.match(/player2\.swf\?.*?(video_id=[^"]+)/)[1];}

Right-click and "Bookmark this link..." Save YouTube Video

The videos come in a ".FLV" format which can, for example, be played with the free VLC media player.

@Jói, here how:
1. Visit a YouTube video page (example).
2. Activate (click!) the "Save YouTube Video" bookmarklet.
3. Wait while the browser connects to the server and then prompts you with a "Save file" dialog window.
Admiddedly I've only bothered to test the bookmarklet on Firefox and IE6. Your milage may vary.

Got it to work, the problem was my Firefox, apparently I was using some old version not compatible with this workaround. Thanks for this useful and handy tool!
