Question how to download this Youtube video

I tried Stream Transport, Tubedigger (free version) and Youtube downloader.
The video has an advertisement that you can skip after 5 seconds. I think that is what screws up all the downloaders.

SaveTube has worked for me.

[requires Java (1.6.x is sufficient), just in case you wanna try it]

Strange, I was able to download the video with the Tubedigger (trialware) from the tools section of Videohelp.
I wonder what is the limitation of the trialware?
EDIT: I see the limitation is 14 days. The older free version of Tubedigger will not download this video.

There´s nothing special with this video. Flash Video Downloader add-on in Firefox works also.
But Youtube changed recently their system (once again) So you should maybe try the latest version of Tubedigger (free)

Firefox + DownloadHelper

Oy Vey!!!!

I swear, is there such a thing as a full time troller ?!?!?

LOL!!!

Firefox + DownloadHelper

Yep, I have downloaded literally 100's of videos from Youtube that way, 90% with video's that have an advertisement that you can skip after 5 seconds and never a problem!!!!!!!

Are you sure you need an internet connection to go on the internet ?!?!?

Thanks for the options. I'll keep those options on file.

Some of our members continually feed the trolls, seemingly oblivious to the fact that doing so is counterproductive.

But on a related note, I am really getting sick and tired of the constant "Please help me to download this video" posts.

Yes, I can see, of the above downloading methods listed, the best one is free DownloadHelper:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/
It does not add a toolbar, (only a small icon in the top right, see screenshot , red circle) therefore doesn't reduce precious desktop space on my 10 inch netbook.
Furthermore, it gives you several choices of download resolution (file sizes) and also you can close out the video and it will still download at the fast speed of your internet connection. DownloadHelper also works to capture streaming audio. The last time I downloaded a Youtube video was about 4 years ago. All of those methods do not work today. The best one was Zamzar, because it allowed you to download Youtube videos in countries where Youtube was blocked. But Zamzar is no more.
