Help... trying to save my CBN vids to put on youtube.

Posted by Roosterman on October 23, 2011 at 6:10am in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

Little help here guys.

I have ignored my Youtube channel for ages, its full of rubbish from years back, so I want to upload all my recent videos - foolishly I put them up on here (the nation), but didnt back up my own copies.

Usual story then - computer died, lost files, only record is on here.

So - I now want to save my OWN videos from CBN and repost on Youtube.

I just cant see how to do it!

I guess Youtube have some block going on so folk cant steal other folks stuff and post it as there own, which is cool. Except I want to post my own stuff.

There appears to be no facility to embed stuff into Youtube - or am I being a bit thick?

Any guidance would be great

Cheers

    THANKS FELLAS! Success! The downloadhelper was just the ticket :o)

     

    For the record, it works on a Linux system too (as you'd expect, being that its a firefox add). Thats right guys, I use Linux - the thinking mans operating system...

    Ipads? Macs? Ironic that you guys get your kicks building simple primitive instruments outa crap......

    Hi Oily.

    Buy an iPad and send it to me and I will let you know.

    All the best (and waiting impatiently for my iPad).

    Rooster,

    Ah, I can see I was unclear. Yes, I've d vid FROM YouTube the way I described, but I've also done it that way FROM CBN. On a Windows machine. But I think c# merle's way using the Firefox addin is more elegant. And I'm on an iPad right now, running Safari as my browser, John, so would your technique work on this platform?

    Hmmm.

    Dan.

    One day when you have been really good maybe you should treat yourself.

    I did not know about the downloadhelper addin for Firefox. I just tested it on my "improper"  computer and it works just fine.

    Ben.

    Most important question. Are you on a Mac or one of those other machines that some people use if they don't know what a proper computer is?

    If you are on a proper computer (Mac) and using the Safari browser, go to the "Window" menu and choose "Activity". That will bring up a window showing all that is being downloaded to the browser. You may need to expand some of the list, but I'm sure you know what I mean. Find the file you want (normally the biggest - file sizes are given on the right hand side of the window) and double click while holding the "Alt" key. The file will download to your chosen folder.

    I hope this is what you are looking for.

    All the best.

    John
