Greasemonkeying with Google Video and YouTube

Quote:
One of the frustrating things about websites that use Flash video is that they rarely provide links to let you download the video files for offline viewing or transcoding/syncing to portable devices like the Sony PSP, video iPod, or Creative Zen Vision.

Case and point: Google Video and YouTube. Neither of these websites allow you to download the video files. This type of lock-down is soooo Web 1.0.

I decided to dive into Greasemonkey and create a couple scripts to expose download links on Google Video and YouTube webpages:

Google Video Getter
YouTube To Me

To install these scripts you will need the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox. After installing Greasemonkey, relaunch Firefox, then right-click the links above and select "Install User Script." Now whenever you browse to a Google Video or YouTube webpage, you will see a prominent download link at the top.

Welcome to Web 2.0 where the user is in control of the experience.

See the screenshots below to see what these scripts do...
