How To Download & Steal Raw YouTube Video Files In 3 Easy Steps

How To Download & Steal Raw YouTube Video Files In 3 Easy Steps

March 14th, 2007 // 3:16 pm @ Jim Kukral

Yep, it’s pretty easy, and I’ll show you how below. But first know something. I think this is wrong, and I hope that it can be stopped. If you’re not fully aware of copyright issues, you should know that stealing content (video or otherwise) is an offense, and stealing someone’s video out of YouTube is probably going to get you sued quick. Don’t do it.


Step 1 To Stealing YouTube Videos
The first thing you do is visit a site called KissYouTube.com. I don’t believe they’re associated with YouTube, which means that the site will probably be taken down any minute as it’s in violation of the brand. Just enter in the YouTube code for any video you want to download and hit go.

Here’s the link I put in about the NBC hit show ‘Heroes’:

Here’s a result page:

This let’s you download a .flv of the YouTube movie. Download to your hard drive.

Step 2 To Stealing YouTube Videos

Just do a search on Google for how to convert files. I found this tool right away that costs $29.95.

Notice the yellow arrow in the screen shot? Just use this tool to convert the .flv file into anything that you want, like a .avi, or .wmv.

Step 3 To Stealing YouTube Videos

Simply import your converted files into your video software and edit away!

    How to “steal” videos off of youtube w/o programs In 10 easy steps.

    1. Find the video that you want.
    2. Find the address bar and the url.
    3. This must be a youtube video to do this. First, add “kiss” (without the quotation marks) before youtube. So “ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=?????????” would become http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=?????????
    4. Now click on the download now button. When you save it, remember to put “.flv” after the name (without quotes). Save it to somewhere that is easy to locate, such as your desktop
    5. Now go to http://media-convert.com/
    6. Browse for your file, and then click what type of file you want it to become. There are many types. You can choose for it to become a movie, sound, ringtone (PCM + Polyphonic), and a ringtone (monophonic +Polyphonic) if your converting videos. You can also convert text, images, sounds, and data.
    7. Click “I accept the terms” and OK.
    8. Your video will start loading.
    9. After a while, it will go to another screen and continue its loading. This will only take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your computer.
    10. When your done, click download. Save it.

    CONGRATS! You have just “taken” a video from youtube without any programs!
