Downloading youtube video in chrome??

[Imrahn]

Is there any extension available for Google Chrome that i can use to download youtube videos? Tried searching , but to no avail.....

Would prefer extension rather than a separate software...

welcome mate, which version of IDM is crashing, i am using it for a while, haven't encountered any crash

Nah, i meant IDM was crashing some beta build of Chrome, not the otherway around.It was like 'I start Chrome, it crashes to desktop', but now after couple iterations of Chrome has gone, seems it is fixed since its working flawless with IDM right now.

Google is the owner of both Chrome and youtube. It will never ever allow an extension in Chrome which allows users to download youtube videos.

i use the 'easy youtube downloader' extension in firefox. you get options like 3gb,flv,mp4,720p and 1080p.

use the extension youtube video downloaded, after that here is a link on the youtube video page using which you can download the video in multiple formats and resolutions as well as just download the soundtrack(.mp3)

Right. They have even pulled down apps from android market which support youtube video downloading.

I hear the preference for an extension, but I prefer to use an FLV Download Manager. The cool thing is it is free and will let me then easily import the downloaded files into an FLV converter that will covert the files to lots of other video formats. Check out the links, they are the best I've found for this kind of stuff.

You can just search google and use any third party website which allows you to paste the youtube url and download it from the website itself
