It looks like some of you report having 2 common problems.
Common Problem 1: No download link when I paste the video address in.
-Be sure to paste in the Video URL in the right format. See the example
near the Help button. You will have to cut off things like
"&feature=bz301" that might come with the copied URL address, if any
present.
-It might be possible that the video you are trying to download was
removed from youtube and is not accessible anymore.
-You are maybe using a browser that doesn't have support for this
service. Try using the latest Firefox or Internet Explorer.
-You might not have
Javascript Enabled on your browser, or your
Security Settings are too high. -The SaveTube server is too busy,
sometimes there are 100 people trying to backup at the same time. Be
patient, click GO and wait for your turn.
Common Problem 2: I don't know what to do with the get_video file
that I got from SaveTube
When the download is finished, just rename the file from
get_video
to somevideo.flv ... Just add a .flv extension, then use an FLV Player
to play it.
The Free Applian FLV Player Works well. You can also convert it. Go
to the tools page for more info.
Common FLV extension problem / If opens in MS-DOS
Some users report not seeing file name extensions or having their
get_video open in MS DOS. Don't worry! This happens because Windows
doesn't find an extension of the file so it automatically reads it with
MS DOS. You will have to rename the file, but if you don't see
extensions, just follow these steps.
How to View Extensions with Windows XP / Vista
Press Start->Control Panel(Be sure it's on "Classic View")->Folder
Options->View Tab->Be sure that "Hide extensions for known file types"
is UNCHECKED. Now you will see extensions for all files. Now just find
the get_video file, press F2 to rename it and add a .flv extension to
it. It should look like-> somevideo.flv
