Youtube File Hack is a handy, extremely small and intelligent program that aims to ease up everything in saving youtube videos to your hard disk. Please Download it now! :)

Posted Image

A Context Menu Customization entry will be added to your IE Context Menu. :)

Just Right-Click and Download. That's it! When the File-Download Dialog Opens, press CTRL+V to paste the filename or Right-Click > PAste Menu.

Simple Things Matters... :)

The new version has a new setup tool that can install and provide a Download function for both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

What's NEW in Youtube File Hack 1.5? Here are some important changes I made:

•You can now download again Youtube video in HD Hack!
•Setup Program and Google Chrome Bookmarks creator was added
•YTH-light was completely re-written in C#. The new version is only 19kb in size.
•Automatic detection of URL and Title (trapping and clipping) was optimized
•The new version is focused on usability

What's NEW in Youtube File Hack 1.2?

Here are some important changes I made:

*More Intelligent: Automatic Detection of High Definition HD-720P, Higher Quality and Standard Flash videos
*DON'T ASK feature: Removal of Message boxes for annoyance, Automatically select and download all videos to MP4 or FLV
*automatic detection of URL and Title (trapping and clipping)
*Anti-Bug Feature due for user intervention like moving and opening the program in a new folder.
*Getting the link is much faster than the previous version

The new version is focused on usability and speed

TO DOWNLOAD:

DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE FILE - HACK NOW

For Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari
I recommend the Bookmark Downloader:

Documentation (How to Use the Program):

Unlocking Youtube File Hack-1 Running the Program for the First Time, Tips and Tricks

Unlocking Youtube File Hack-2 Download a Video after Search

Unlocking Youtube File Hack-3 Download while Watching the Video

Unlocking Youtube File Hack-4 Download in User-Response, Related and Featured Videos

Unlocking Youtube File Hack-5 Downloading the Youtube File through the GUI Application

How to Play the Downloaded Youtube Video


Summary:

1. The current version adds a Context Menu To Internet Explorer (IE)and makes it possible to download the youtube video easily. Firefox will be supported on the next version.

2. Intelligent Enough to know the youtube link and file name: You don't need to know the format of the link and go to a website to download the video. Also, it will automatically copy the title to clipboard as it's filename. So, when it asks for a filename just press CTRL+V.

3. Optimize by design: The program doesn't stick anything that makes your computer unstable and it doesn't run on a background.

4. Mostly, The most important thing for all the Geeks, there's a link that will teach everybody on how to get the youtube link manually.

5. The main problem that I encountered in several applications, when the program was corrupted due to unknown reasons. It's difficult for a casual user to clean the context menu. In this program there's an option to remove the Right-Click (Context Menu) option in Internet Explorer.

NOTE: If you did not log-off and log-in after opening the program for the first time.
you'll get this IE Security message.

If you want to delete the program, First, UNCLICK the option Context Menu (Right-Click Menu in Internet Explorer)
and delete the folder/files. That's it.

The Design:

By default, the 24.5kb program called YTH-light gets the youtube link and download the video. It is a command line application that was optimize by design, meaning as simple as possible:

1. Get the youtube link

2. Launch the Download Command and terminate the application

It uses any web browser as a downloader (Internet Explorer, Firefox or any) which is more stable. Also, it can be automatically downloaded through any File downloader or Download Accelerator for faster download.

If you want the GUI application, there's an option to choose. So, there are plenty of ways to download the video file.

Tested in Windows Vista and XP

ENJOY!

Please feel free to give more suggestions about the program.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I don't have enough time to create the code for firefox.
Anyway, I will do my best to release the next version.

Please study the program.
It's very very intelligent, extremely SMALL, doesn't run on a background and a
NON-STICKY PROGRAM :)

That was the reason why it took me 4-5 days of coding NON-STOP.
opppsss not really about 4-5 hours of sleep.

On the fifth day, today. I feel asleep twice because of exhaustion. :D
Anyway, This is a GREAT experience for me.

Please help me share it to others...
Anyway, many publishers surprisingly published in just a few minutes.
wow!

Thanks in advance...

If you guys are unable to use the bookmark code posted by pauldacheez then go to this site and bookmark the "Get YouTube video" link.

When you want to download a YouTube video, click on the bookmarklet and you should see a new option below the embeddable code.

This method works in Firefox, IE, Opera and Safari.

But If youtube approves it. That's great!

I think there is no need to release a new version for downloading .mp4 format
Googlesystem already posted a blog on how to download the .MP4 videos easily. :D
In all major browsers! But theres a limitation. there's only few videos uploaded in .mp4

mmm... Anyway, I didn't know about it.

Anyway Great Experience for me! I have learn so many things about protected mode in IE.

At least mine, works 100% in IE and all standard videos in youtube (.flv).

Thanks for the information guys...

yahhhh... GREAT THANKs TO HIM.

Also, I created a small youtube browser... it's an experimental app only (for now) to see how fast
if you will get the youtube link while loading the page...

Please try here:
GuggleTube, Watch and Download Youtube Movies in High-Quality Video Streams (MP4)

the HQ thing is based from his hack so, thanks to him!
