Hi all

When working in Korea, I was able to download and save videos via SaveTube and transfer them to my flash drive from my hard drive.

Since coming to China, I can't get this to work. I have a very reliable VPN.
Any ideas or alternative suggestions for this problem would be much appreciated as I teach first graders and there is a wealth of material on Youtube such as Sesame Street to name one................

Thanks

when you download, it works better to set to "flash video"

Youtube is not the be-all-end-all you know.

China blocks youtube and it is illegal to use proxy, VPN, and other methods to circumvent China's restrictions on the internet.

Hey

Thanks for the quick reply...I have tried the first one and keep getting a message that reads as follows:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object with a BIG RED X!
I have tried all options in all drop boxes and it always comes to this

well, try the second one.

or googlesize "1-click youtube downloader" and find one that works.

then give us the link for the one that worked for you.

I use youku downloader[xml bar] and it seems to work great, choice of how I want it quality wise and if I want just the voice it'll strip it down for you too.

How do you manage to maintain resolution if you use the school projector?

Hello All

Many thanks for the suggestions. I have not yet found one that works...Has anyone here used SaveTube in the past and had trouble recently?

The internet can be slow where I am,but I have my own wi fi and I use Astrill
so going to YouTube is no problem. I am trying some torrent sites for alternatives, but coming up with "slim pickings'

When using these sites, are you using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer
or FireFox?

Thanks again

I use the "Grab Any Media" app for Chrome. Has worked well the whole time I have had it.

Thank you one and all

The ultimate resolution was downloading Mozilla Firefox and installing their add on which allows YouTube videos to be downloaded by simply clicking on the download button under the video...The drop down menu gives you a choice of formats for saving the file in.....

Much appreciation for all the feedback

Have a great weekend everybody
