They do this by displaying this scary warning page if you browse to the site from a google search, but the site can be trusted, in my experience. Google isn’t a fan of this site as they want you loading up YouTube and watching ads whenever you watch a video, so they try to dissuade you from entering the site. If I need to save a video from YouTube or other sites like it, I go to KeepVid, first and foremost. In this post, I’ll show you a few ways to download videos you’ll run across online, and how you can use PowerShell to download some of the REALLY tricky ones. However, a lot of streaming services want you to only view their videos within the confines of their web page, normally with a sign-in session.

Streaming is cool and all, but there are times when it’s nice to have videos saved locally, like the huge backlog of content from MMS and TechEd. If you want to watch cool videos from events or conferences, you can just load them on when you’re on the road with no issues, right? We live in an amazing world of on-demand video and always available bandwidth, where people can count on full reception at all times on their device.
