Download Video - Don’t Sit and Wait for It!
Anymore, I almost always download video that I want to see. I got frustrated with too many videos starting and stopping, or maybe worse, stopping right before the end - with no way to restart at the point I left off!
So I did a little research some time ago and found out that most videos worth watching can be downloaded to my hard drive. I then make sure the video is complete (as near as I can tell) before wasting my time watching it.
It also avoids embarrassment. Ever gathered 4 or 5 people around your computer screen to watch something cool, then 5 or 10 minutes later the last holdout finally gives up on you and walks away as you’re trying for the umpteenth time to get the video to play?
Once, downloaded, you can then replay at your leisure as well - or save it for later. Heck you can even put it on a flash drive and send it with someone else or take it to another location yourself.
Downloading the video is pretty easy, there’s even a Firefox plugin that makes it a snap.
And the list of sites you can download video from is expanding all the time. YouTube, Google, Metacafe, Dailymotion, MySpace, Revver…and the list goes on and on.
For complete details and instructions, see Video Download on my website.

nice post buddy
for me I don’t watch the videos on the main site too
I use http://www.vidloader.info to download them from google, metacafe, and other major video hosters so I can watch them on full screen without installing anything, I’ll take a look at your site too.
