This script by Takashi Ohida is conveniently web-based, unlike most of it’s kind. What does it do? It allows you to download videos off of YouTube.com. Since the beginning of YouTube, people have tried to do this by viewing the source of the page in a notepad, and looking for the direct link. Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to do this.
After a while, people started making programs like this. Although this could be used for piracy, a good amount of the things on YouTube don’t have an American license (such as subbed anime that’s exclusive to Japan). This tool is extremely valuable in my opinion – especially when you don’t have to download a program to use it.
