Sufficient ways to Import YouTube Videos to the Program
You can choose the proper way for you to import YouTube videos to the program for conversion.
1. Load YouTube URL Directly.
You just need to know the URL for the video you want, and then you can click on the “Load URL” button to use the URL for conversion.
Tips on how to get the YouTube URL:
a. You may get one from your friend when sharing.
b. You may open a page on YouTube.com with video playing, and then you can find the URL address for the video on the Address toolbar.
c. If you find one of the Related Videos or Promoted Videos interesting and want to add it to the converter without viewing it on YouTube, you right click on the Title, e.g. Tales Of Mere Existence "Procrastination", and choose Properties. Then find the URL “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P785j15Tzk” on the pop-up dialog box.
After you get the URL, copy it. Then click on the “Load URL” button on the program, and paste the URL to the “Load URL” dialog box.
2. Load Video by Dragging to the Floating Icon.
This is an alternative way to add the Related Video or Promoted Videos mentioned above. You do not need to open the page with the video playing on YouTube.
You can click on the Title of the video, e.g. Tales Of Mere Existence "Procrastination", hold on your mouse and drag it to the floating icon of the converter. Generally, you will see the icon on the right corner of the monitor.
3. Auto Load the Playing YouTube Video on IE for Conversion.
You just need to run the converter, choose Options>Preferences>General and check the box for “Auto load the playing FLV video on IE to convert”, click the “OK” button. Then browse YouTube pages freely. Once there is YouTube video playing on the page, the converter will automatically load the video to the file list. No need to worry about how to import the videos at all. However, with this method, many videos will be added to the program, and you need to select the file on the program by yourself. This method also works with other video sharing websites.
4. Grab YouTube Video with the “Grab Video” window.
If you do not want to open IE, Firefox, etc. you can run the converter and choose File>Grab Video, then you would face the following “Grab Video” window. Enter “http://www.youtube.com” and you will view the home page for YouTube videos. Click on one of the video or title of the video, you will face the page for it. When the video starts playing, you may notice a new FLV URL display on the bottom part of the “Grab Video” window. Check on the box, and click the “Download” button on the right. Before clicking the “Download” button, you can also browse other page with video playing, and the related URL will display for you to check the box. Then you can load multiple videos at a time.
5. Use the “GetIt” Plug-in on IE.
When you browse YouTube videos with IE, you can set the converter to enable the “GetIt” plug-in, so that you can choose the videos you want to load into the converter. Run the program, choose Options>Preferences>General and check the box for “Enable the pop-up plug-in "GetIt" on IE's playing FLV video”, then click the “OK” button. The plug-in is activated. You will face an icon when you move your mouse to the screen of the playing video on IE.
