Go to YouTube and start playing a video, then look at the source code of the webpage. At one point there is a big mess of numbers and letters and those are the links. But like I said, they are encoded and you will have to decode them three times with an online url decoder (search google). You must also replace triple dashes with a single dot, only the single dash between 'o' and 'o' should remain.

Thanks for your patience Elgero. I vist here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uzZASIhB0E , Click View-Source. I do not see the word "range" any where

Do I just copy and paste this into the decoder? I hit decode and still see no "range"

Then YouTube has probably decided to remove the 'range' part. YouTube makes changes to the website almost weekly.

If the range is gone, does this mean there is no changes that can be made to the code?

It is easy, use my bookmarklet

svnpenn.github.com/bm

See?

I clicked your link and it took me to a page. I clicked the Youtube download link, and nothing happens. What should happen? Guess it woul help if I knew what a bookmarklet was.

Want to elaborate a bit? I turned my browser security to low, click the link and still nothing "installs". No toolbar or no addon.

LOL. Love it. Yes I googled it, but nothing ever worked. I will try it again.
