Downloading youtubes vids with only Safari!

[Zero Beat]

Ok so mac heads out there, there are a ton of apps out there that get you youtube vids with a few clicks. But i haev a way without any apps or webpages!

What you need:

A mac (Im working on the windows version)
Apple keyboard
A youtube vid. :)
Eyes.

Start:

Look at the url of your vid you want:

Then add "&fmt=18" to the end of the url and hit enter:

After this push: Command, option a. And it will bring up the activity window for Safari:

This shows you what your browser is doing.

Now what you need to do is look for the biggest file. On my picture you can see it is:

(When it say "### of ### *#s being numbers* this means the file is still loading. The video is what takes the longest and is the biggest so its easy to see!)

From here, click it (sometimes you might need to double click) and it will start to download. Wait for it, and *depending on how you have your downloads set up* it will be in your downloads folder.

:3 does it work for everyone?

Maybe I'll get a mod to change the title to: "Put down Jacks idea with programs!" :P THE POINT isn't that there are programs that will do all this stuff for you... More that you can do it yourself. I know I don't wish to download and install apps all the time for something i might only do once or so a month. The other point Sporadica, it dont come on mac... :3
