Is it possible to play Youtube videos through your media player (VLC)? I would like to see the video on a larger screen. If so, does the picture get badly distorted? Thanks.
You can download YouTube videos by going to keepvid.com. Download the flv or mp4. Both will play in VLC - but the mp4 will look nicer.
Yup, download Vixcy Downloader. It will download yourtube videos in Various formats including DiVx, MP3, for iPod or Mac. Then you can use any of your media players.
Thanks guys. Kerosene, I see you're from AU, it's actually Big Brother au Season 8 that I want to view using media player. Do you know if they are planning on bringing it back?
this will help you.... Use online flv converter vixy.net mediaconverter.com converttube.com keepvid.com (does not convert) online.movavi.com flv2mp3.com they can directly convert online FLV/YouTube to AVI/MP3/WMV/3GP/MP4/iPod /Zune /PSP. they are full free! then you can play wmv on windows media player.

Uhh, you guys did know that you can just copy paste the Youtube link into the VLC and it'll play it directly? Latest version of VLC required though FYI =D
Or you could just download Any video converter free? It'll just take the stream from youtube and convert it for you
I use downloadhelper.net to download videos off YouTube in MP4 format, just search for the full version with torrents, it's worth it.
Downloadhelper is alright, but like mentioned above i'd suggest using Any video Converter Free Which is one of the best softwares when it comes to converting anything on the fly =]
Even youtube has the full screen play option. You can try that as well if you do not want to download it.
VLC has alot more options in the latest version, i'd suggest just trying to link and play the videos directly through VLC it also has options to save the stream or for that matter further distribute it over a network if that's your thing
They would be distorted, as the files are uploaded and youtube converts them to a standard 640 x 420 size i believe.
While i agree with you Inskyzgraphics VLC is one of the best options for network streams as well as local ripping and downloading, i'm quite sure they'll improve it enough so you can even down the HD videos on youtube
Though PPagent you should realize that at the moment VLC cant stream properly on a network, every pc needs to have VLC and an HTTP socket open to the specific port in order to connect properly =]
yes u can play them with VLC player. and if u and to see in full screen than see it in High Quality. then it won't be distorted
