Can't download youtube video

by samthjj67 Mar 9, 2010 4:12PM PST

I have firefox and two separate plugins for it and it still cannot download it. It is a streaming video and a advertisement will always start before the video. I tried to download it but it comes as 0 bytes. It is a new type of streaming I have not encountered.

Anyone knows how to get it?

I also tried replay media capture and it could not get a link. Very odd.

The TOS of youtube doesn't allow downloading video's. So this small nuisance causes you to adhere to their rules, in stead of doing things not allowed.
