These people keep on right clicking the concerned file but they do not find any `save file as’ option. This is obvious, since the files on YouTube’s site are in the Adobe flash format (.flv extension). Those who know about flash movies know that if they right click on a flash movie, the pop-up will show the movie controls and no saving options. The main reason for this is that the files are embedded in the web page. They are encoded in a way so that they cannot be copied. This is done to ensure that people cannot copy files off the sites where they are hosted. However, there are many smart brains around and they have no problems in downloading the movie files from the YouTube site.
The ingenious ones use special techniques that they have developed themselves, whilst others can use programs that have been designed to download YouTube videos with web scripts that can retrieve the original FLV link. YouTube is famous all over the world and is the biggest video file sharing website of the world. Anyone who wants to share their videos with their family and friends can upload the same to this site and once they get the unique url where their video has been hosted, they can send these links to their family and friends. Within a few minutes people from all parts of the world can access their movies as long as they know the unique url to it. However, there are some friends who might want to download the movies and save it on their hard drive for viewing it later on.
They face problems when they try to download the movies. They feel sad because they have to connect to the net each time they want to see the movie. There are several options for them but the best and easiest one are the online ripping sites. These sites help even a novice to download movies from YouTube with the help of Ripzor.
