Cannot download FEW videos from youtube

[raksrules]

I usually use keepvid.com to download youtube videos. But there are these certain videos which i am not able to download. Pasting the URL in keepvid encounters an error.
I have the addon Downloadhelper installed in firefox but still that does not get activated when the video is played on youtube and neither does IDM download link appear :S

Please let me know how can i download the same ??

I've placed a bookmarklet in my bookmark toolbar:

javascript:(function(){url='http://deturl.com/download-video.js';document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src=url+'?'+new%20Date().getTime();})();

Bookmarklet to Directly Download Videos from YouTube, DailyMotion, Facebook, Vimeo, and more

Awesome. Hassle-free. Ease to use. Just open the youtube/facebook page, hit the bookmarklet and voila.. You are good to go.

Paste the youtube link.
As far as i have observed all links get downloaded with idM and firefox.
Which version of idm are using btw. The latest being version 6.02.

If anyone finds a way to download do let me know. Also check the UPLOADER and try any other video from same uploader (big videos i mean. 1.5 hr+) and see of that too downloads.

The same uploader has smaller videos too and they are downloadable :S

Weird. Can't get the same from the bookmarklet too. :S

Well, as you must be knowing that whenever you open a webpage, the data in the page is stored in Firefox's cache folder and so they can be retrieved from there. Applies to Youtube too.

Follow these steps:-

1. Open the YouTube video and let it stream fully. I mean wait for till you see reply button on youtube video.

2. Don’t close that tab/browser.

3. Locate the following folder:

For WindowsXP: C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Your Profile>\Cache

For Windows7: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\ Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Your Profile>\Cache

4. Open the profile folder and sort the files by size. Most probably the last file will be your youtube video.

5. Copy it to somewhere else and add extension .flv at end and play it on FLV player.

Should, should work if you have patience to buffer the whole video first.
