How Do I Download a Flash Video by Changing the URL?
- 1). Open the YouTube website at www.youtube.com.
- 2). Browse the videos until you come across one that you'd like to save.
- 3). Copy the video URL listed along the right side of the flash video.
- 4). Paste the URL into your web browser's address bar. Do not hit "Enter" yet.
- 5). Type the word "pwn" or "kick" directly before "youtube" within the video's URL. The result would be "www.pwnyoutube.com/unique-video-ID" or "www.kickyoutube.com/unique-video-ID" (the unique video ID is the "/watch?v=12345" part of the video's URL). Alternatively, you can replace the letter "y" within "youtube" with the number 3 (as in "www.3outube.com/unique-video-ID"). Hit "Enter." You will be redirected to a page with download links for the requested video.
- 6). Right-click the desired format and select "Save Link As..." to download the video to your desktop.
