Kiss YouTube offers an innovative approach for downloading video clips from Youtube. No browser bookmarklets, no software to install, just remember the KISS “Keep It Sweet & Simple” principle.
While you are watching a video clip on the youtube website, just add the word “kiss” to the video URL in your browser address bar and hit enter. The video is ready to be saved on your computer in FLV format.
For instance, if the Youtube URI is something like youtube.com/watchv= ls1954aa, you can download the clip by adding the word “kiss” in front of the youtube.com domain name. Hence the final address becomes kissyoutube.com/watch?v=ls1954aa which will have the link to save that clip.
Procedure
- Whenever you are watching video on YouTube, goto the address bar at the top of your browser.
Notice the URL is something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRTk0RPXtW4
- Just in front of the youtube.com domain name, insert the word ‘kiss‘.
eg. http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=tRTk0RPXtW4
- Press the ‘Enter’ key and it will bring you to this website. Click on the download link provided to save the video to your computer.
NOTE: Remember to save your video with “.flv” extension. Eg. some_video_filename.flv.
