hey what's up guys it's marcus bradley here from mkbhd and welcome to another HB tutorial and this one's title might look a little bit familiar to you guys who have been subscribed for a little while but recently I actually did a video on downloading your own right or anyone actually anyone's YouTube videos in the mp4 format and this was done actually using a piece of JavaScript I put together that I got from one of Google's blogs or forums and they basically uh you put it you a copy and paste it into the address bar and it would download any YouTube video in its highest quality in the mp4 format well now I have a bit of an announcement that YouTube has come out with a new feature sorry about that background noise anyway youtube has come out with a new feature which allows you to download your own YouTube videos in an mp4 format basically if they just built this in YouTube's been having a lot of server troubles recently but they've been actually making quite a few updates to their page if you didn't already notice so in order to get to this feature all you got to do is hover over your name and go to my videos and it'll load youtube.com slash my underscore videos when you're signed in and you can go to any video you've uploaded already and underneath that you will see a download mp4 button before these were the only buttons that were available you can play the video which will obviously take you to the URL you can edit the video which is basically the description of the video the title the the tags and anything else with that nature the annotations button was the whole annotations editor and I was considering doing a you know an overview or a tutorial on that but we'll see how that goes the audio swap button which is basically adding other other audio to it basically music vendors who have decided to let YouTube and Google overlay their music on your video so you could use that insight which gives you you know information about that video and I think I will be doing an insight overview and I just giving you guys you know everything that's about YouTube insight you can promote the video by hitting that button you can delete the video from YouTube after a confirmation window now the new edition underneath the salt is the download mp4 button and what it does is if you just click it you'll see at the top it inserts that quick little piece of JavaScript there I don't know if you saw it and then it'll come up with this your your actual mpeg-4 or mp4 movie you can hit the open button and it will actually save the title of the video as well as all the description and everything like that and when you hit open it'll open the video in QuickTime Player just like you would with the JavaScript downloaded video so it's opening right now and here it is it is not in the highest possible quality which is the only downside if we show this video in full-size which would be normal size I guess but if you show it in the full size it's not the 1280 by 720 that I would have expected YouTube to give your video in so it will be a bit pixelated which is the only downside but you are getting the best basically that's the quickest way so you are sacrificing a bit of quality when you do it that way you're not gonna get the HD out of it but you will get everything else you'll get the audio it'll be crisp and clear and everything of that nature so here's the video here it was the txt channel of the week so I'm just going to delete that from where I just downloaded it but basically it is the easiest way because it saves the title and description of the video and you'll be able to find it anywhere on your computer just by using the Windows Vista search box and just typing in the title of the video you downloaded but when you use the JavaScript way which I showed you earlier I'll try to include an annotation for you guys you won't have the title and description of the video when you download it but you will have it in the highest possible quality to back up on your hard drive so there you go guys that's the second of the ways that I'm pretty much aware of right now for you guys to download and backup your own mp4 YouTube videos onto say an external hard drive or backing it up onto some service where you can backup a certain amount of gigs of videos or files or so that's basically it for you guys thanks for watching this HD tutorial stay tuned for more if you have any other tutorial ideas or requests you can feel free to subscribe and message me and I may consider doing a tutorial video for you guys or a request video for anyone who feels that they have a good enough question so thanks for watching this one and have a nice day peace
