    I'm trying to figure out how I can rip a video from youtube, but I want to rip the H.264 version, not the WebM version. Does anyone know?

    FWIW, YouTube gives you the option to NOT use those pesky WebM things:

    Code:
    http://www.youtube.com/html5

    Yeah, I'm already in the trial, but the video is still in vp8 and vorbis, do you know if videodownload helper re-encodes the rip from youtube?

    Sample DownloadHelper menu in FireFox:

    Click image for larger version Name: dh.jpg Views: 1351 Size: 32.2 KB ID: 18882

    The files are downloaded, not reencoded.

    K, I've got them, my concern was that a download site or plugin might re-encode the video, but I can see that that is not the case, thanks.

    HTML5 supports WebM. Not sure how it excludes WebM.

    It's YouTube database, it's not HTML5. That page does contain the option to accept or to refuse WebM. Maybe it shows no option at all for the Chrome users, I really don't know
