There are lots of confusion to the new Youtube layout and many users are having some difficulty in saving youtube videos for several days.
Latest Update – August 8, 2011
Downloading all File Formats
http://WindowsForUs.com/Youtube/ (get the different Mp4 formats by parsing and posting the download links to the site)
OLD Updates
Around April 2, 2010 6pm eastern time, I started solving these youtube downloader problems because many users said the code doesn’t work. The thing is…. Youtube now generates a unique machine id in each computer that visited the site. Thanks Steve B. for the mail! and Mr PackMan36!
It took me 7 more hours to find the reason why.
- The users themselves is now Directly responsible for each download or archiving of youtube videos because of the new system
- There is now a clear separation or Youtube is now totally not responsible because the youtube links themselves are totally generated by the user each time it loads.

Users ask why? Realplayer KeepVid.com, SaveVid.com, downloadyoutubevideos.com, youtubedownloaderhd.com etc…
Getting ALL Available Youtube Links Manually
http://windowsforus.com/youtube/
Using the updated version of my Youtube downloaders, I’ve manage to get the links by parsing the site without any code references, by looking only in the youtube web sites.
It’s fun really….
While watching any youtube video(s), Right-Click the web page > View source > copy All and Paste the source to the link above.

Several hours later, Mr Paulo of blastingvolume.blogspot.com updated the code and I was laughing in my sit because we finished almost the same time but we have different way in getting the youtube url.
He’s using fmt_stream_map in Javascript and I’m using fmt_url_map to get the links using C#.
I don’t know if he knew this.
Anyway, this is my first time to see Open source code in real-time editing. I’m not yet good at javascript codes but thankfully, I successfully edited his code and create a hybrid system using C# code.
