First grab a youku link heres one for the movie fifth element

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_cc00XMjY3NzY5NDQ=.html

now normally when putting this link anywere to try and download you get a 403 forbidden thing (well youku suck on this)

retype the address so it looks like this - adding fire after youku Actual site http://www.youkufire.com/

http://v.youkufire.com/v_show/id_cc00XMjY3NzY5NDQ=.html


now

scroll down and you will see all the download links this one has 18 download in all andyour movie may have more or less
And notice something no 403-forbbiden Ha now click the download button
also i recomend you have a download accelerator of some kind enless you have a good internet connection
pull out a video converter and a program to join video files
and you have a nice movie brought to you in part by youku.com and Youkufire.com

enjoy

Be interesting to know how the joining fares. If the audio or video source code is off the part won't join. Please update the report when that information is available.

yes, do indeed update us. i normally dont download unless its something i want to keep for myself, but if it all works out, it could be very useful for some hard to find things that ive come across over time

i just got done and it worked fine but as with all flv conversions the quality went down a little but you dont need to converter and join i only do it so i can get it to a Avi so i can get it on a DVd-r so
so enjoy this cause this is the only site ive found that lets you get videos from youku

I have just found another way to download from youku.I have just tried this http://www.download3000.com/download-youku...-reg-53393.html and it works.

http://flv.xmlbar.com/youku.php?lang=english in fact i think this downloads from nearly all of the Asian sites.

It downloads all the parts in flv,then all you have to do is convert them.

It may be useful to someone.

OSX & Safari users can save 99% of flv's - maybe this will work for PC & FFox users??

Unsure how this would work on a PC & Firefox - after getting poor results with FFox's add-on's in OSX at the time, I returned to Safari, installed SAFT (which does the job of 50 add-ons for FFox except downloads, then went about setting up Safari to play every net stream by installing all available codecs.

Afterward I found I could download almost all with DiVX & Player was installed but still i wanted to grab .flv's..
so I tried Real Player 10 (gold) and that was the answer, oddly as i haven't seen an RM stream in months. But it works for all flv streams.

I thought initially it would be of little use but Real Player DOES have a use. It can save played .flv's from my browsers cache.


To expand.

(i'll proly find out that everyone else has been doing this since 2006+ smile.gif )

To guarentee Real Player can download flv's you must instal the downloader which is an option.

After installing Real Player 10 there is a pop up option to instal its own "downloader".


When any .flv file is playing in Safari (from any site such as Guba, You Tube, Yoku to Mega Video etc etc except oddly WiseVid* the Real Player Downloader 'captures' the file and when finished viewing you have the option to 'download' which actually just saves/finalises the saving to hard drive and removing from Safari's cache of the already downloaded vid.

I'm a bit behind my updates I expect but i'm using Safari 3.1.2 & OSX 10.5.5, as said Real Player 10 (gold) (RP does have a use after all !! tongue.gif

*maybe updateing Real Player may help IF there is a version 11, i've been away a year and just got back so i'd expect an update? and possibly wisevid flv saving???

The flv can be converted with a number of OSX app. Visual Hub i prefer as its to avi and will stitch any number of individual files. Also Easy WMV will convert flv's but only to m4a (hmm) Quicktime pro will offer saving to many formats also.
or just play in VLC, though seeking (fwd> or Bckwd < can often be impossible with flv's dependant on your VLC vrsn. VLC 1.0.0 seems very capable.


Hope that helps someone and would be great if it was a 1 stop answer to firefox's MANY add-on's in both PC & Mac.

I'd be interested to know if this is old info or helpful to others. PC/OSX, FireFox/Safari and even I.E. users (do people still use that?)

Would this benefit being an OSX / Safari version of this topic in it's self Admin?
