We all of us love YouTube a lot. I’m also a freak of You Tube videos. Whenever I get time, I just digg in YouTube and watch all the popular videos of the day. Sometimes I also show some videos to my friends and family.
But not the whole videos are funny. Sometime a specific part is good and my friends get annoyed when they have to watch the rest of the boring video. No worries now since YouTube team has come up with the Deep Link feature.

YouTube Video Downloader Back on Sizzled Core

You must have noticed new link at the top bar, YouTube Downloader. It’s a working YouTube video downloader that I recently started for my readers. I also had one before using the tutorial by DJ Flush, but that script stopped working and is completely dead now as YouTube made some changes in their code. Instructions on how you can download the video can be found on the YouTube page. I’ll soon do a tutorial on how to start a YouTube downloader of your own in WordPress, or on any other site.
A Facebook application for downloading YouTube videos directly from your profile is also in the pipeline. Subscribe to the RSS feed so that you won’t miss out the application release. :)
