Regarding removal of sensitive videoclips by Youtube
Hi people,
Just wanted to give some fast tips on downloading videos from Youtube. This due to Youtube removing videoclips of unpleasant and horrible scenes in Iran, especially a videoclip where a young girl is shot facing the camera right before she dies. A horrible truth that should not be hidden in my opinion. Anyway, you can use youtube downloader, i found one on the link below, there are probably more alternatives. If Youtube staff decides to erase these files we will use torrents to bring them back !!! Here is the link: YouTube Downloader - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com Cheers to all of you of all nationalities around the world following the news about the situation in Iran and especially the brave youth IN Iran. Best Regards, Peyman |

another way to download YT
KeepVid: Download and save any video from Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm and more!
works well. just copy & paste the video URL to the page. gives you a choice of mp4 or flv format. no need to download software, you just paste the URL on the page. to edit a clip, you can use windows movie maker (comes free with windows). it's not the best editing software - crashes a lot! also, before WMM will accept a file, it needs to be a format like wmv or avi. there are free programs here to convert mp4 & flv to avi: Free MP4 to AVI Converter 1.3 - Convert MP4, M4V, MP4V files to AVI or MPEG, iPod MP4 to AVI converter - Jacek Pazera Free FLV to AVI Converter 1.2 - Convert Flash Video files (FLV, SWF) to AVI or MPEG, YouTube FLV to AVI converter - Jacek Pazera obviously, it's better to have an all-formats converter, but I haven't found any free ones that aren't limited in some way. |

Tangentially related: I've noticed that YouTube hasn't removed a number of videos, but they stopped updating the view counts after they got into the 300 range (including mine), but the streams of comments suggest that plenty of people are still viewing them.

YT viewcounts
The immediate updates stop around 300. Then there's a longish delay (12 hours or more?) before the next update. After that, the updates are every few hours.
If there are a lot of views during the long delay, you should find a big jump in views when it's updated. It's said they also interfere with viewcounts, but I don't know if that's true. |

We had this problem with YT at the start of Chanology and videos related to Scientology protests. They claimed it was a minor bug, but they took days to fix it. |

Post to gmail
A tip for videos in youtube which need registration to be viewed and you don't want to bother: Gmail has an option where youtube videos can be viewed inside an email, it bypasses the age check in youtube. Enable this option and send a link to the video to yourself or others having gmail and play the video.
