Sometimes if you keep reloading the page, it brings up an copy with the old method available. But yeah, they are tightening down a lot - many clips are now broken into streams of about 1.7MB that keep updating.

hi, Jude.
yes, 1.7 MB chunks is what i am seeing.
thanks for the tip, although it's not working for me yet. it's a little bit crazy the things we have to learn along the way
i've also just been searching for similar / duplicate clips.
& i might have to go back to simple screen cap / audio recording.
thanks again,
nick

I use a Safari extension called YouTube5 for videos. It's not perfect but I don't do tons of this and it works for what I need.
The youtube-mp3.org page gets you exactly what it implies, quickly.

I tried the keepvid thing the other day and it didn't work on the one I was trying to get. In the last month or so YouTube has changed from caching to streaming or something, so they only send small packets of information at a time, which none of the software seems to know how to handle. If someone does find something, I'd like to know too.

No, but I will. I sort of assumed because YouTube has changed the way it serves videos that nothing already around would work.

YouTube5 totally worked. I tested it on a video I couldn't get for love or money the other day, and it worked like a charm. Thanks Andrew!

I took a look... It seems like this 1.7 MB thing is a result of some auto bandwidth detection on the new Youtube player. Set it to 720p, park the playhead at the beginning of the video and copy the mp4 stream as usual.

I had something similar happen, and in my case the download just flat-out failed. In my case it happened because the playhead was moved so that the stream started playing midway through, but that caused the download to be unopenable. A reload on the internet browser fixed it.
I also wonder if it has to do with some videos where YouTube now embeds an unskippable commercial every once in a while.

I've had less than consistent results with MPEG streamclip on Open URL. Some YT videos are either blocked or somehow prevented from working.
It seems YT is constantly changing the way it serves up files.

You'll end up re-compressing the footage. Not great, but I don't like re-compressing anything.
