IMO, what they should do is they should all combine into one massive video uploading complex.

I personally don't like any video site that does not allow you to have the option to download the video they have posted on the site. So far I have only come across one site that does so far. www.thatvideosite.com

"I am sorry you dont ahve the money to download this video "
*L*
It comes down to money and they will try and get every bit they can off it,however if the service has lot of free streaming programs and simi easy to copy what you want off it then sign me up..as long as its free :P

Any file that can be viewed online, streamed, or otherwise watched in a web browser can be downloaded. No exceptions.

1: Find the url for the source file
--read the source of the page, or use DownThemAll to find the media URL.

2: If it's hidden in a stream, VCR it.
--there are many softwares around to capture streaming video. A lot of them are hard to find, but not that hard-google works just fine.

3: If it's hidden in something more complex that can't be VCR'ed, FRAPS it.
--No protocol can block direct screen-recording. You may need a fast PC for this.

4: If your PC is too slow for #3, route your video out to another PC and record on it.
--video capture cdevices are pretty cheap.
PC1->VGA/S-Video/Composite Video->Capture Device->USB/IEEE/etc->PC2->Video File

@CiDaemon

That sounds really cool. You should write a guide and post it in the guides. It will really help.

I'll do that. Here's the first one.
