Download YouTube Videos – Tips and Tricks

YouTube Downloads

Video Format:

YouTube uses Adobe Flash to play back videos. This is a standard format supported by most browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. YouTube videos can be played on some mobile devices and even on the Nintendo Wii game system.

YouTube and Copyright:

Along with original content, a lot of videos uploaded to YouTube are clips from popular movies, television shows, and music videos. YouTube limits the length of content to clips and has links to report copyright violations. However, this requires someone verify the violation by hand.

YouTube has partnered with commercial content providers for the legal viewing of some commercial content. Google has been sued over copyright infringement and has promised future technological solutions that will more readily detect piracy.

Uploading YouTube Videos:

You need to register for a free account in order to upload content. You can upload most popular video formats: .WMV, .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG files. YouTube automatically converts these files to Flash as they’re uploaded.
