Extension: GetYouTube

Developer: Nighthound

Latest Version: 1.2.6

Download Latest Version: getyoutube-1.2.6.crx (auto-update enabled)

Description:
Download YouTube video in different formats. Select the desired format from the dropdown list (unavailable formats are disabled). Click on the button to save using the default video filename, or right click on the button to save as a different filename.

A properly formatted filename constructed from the video title is provided in the text box. Click on it to select the text and press Ctrl-C to copy. The filename can then be pasted into the Save As dialog box.

This is a workaround because unlike Firefox which has XUL / XPCOM, Chrome does not have API support for direct interaction with the browser.

Features:
The following formats are supported:

• MPEG-4 H.264 1080p (fmt 37)
• MPEG-4 H.264 720p (fmt 22)
• FLV HQ (fmt 35)
• MPEG-4 H.264 (fmt 18)
• FLV (fmt 34)
• FLV LQ (fmt 5)
• 3GP (fmt 17)

Browser Compatibility: Chrome 4.0+ Developer builds

I'm using this one since it was released. It's great I guarantee

Here is another one

pls enable mp3 format and avi format. =D

@Iruini626
this is not a converter

even if it's not, it's a pain to get a codec to run FLV. (it takes unessasry space)

How come you've never posted your extension on the Chrome Extension Gallery ....

It deserves a larger audience ;-)
