Does this service, or any of the competitors, actually scrape the video (like pinboard.in does with bookmarks) so you can watch it later, even if the site is taken down?
That's something I would pay money for.
- fox_ 15y agoI' m curious about that too.
- samps 15y agoRoadshow (http://fetchsoftworks.com/roadshow/ http://fetchsoftworks.com/roadshow/) lets you download videos to your device. I'm not sure if it's suitable for long-term storage like Pinboard is for web pages, but it might do what you want.
- voidfiles 15y agoNone of them support youtube.
- pchristensen 15y agohttp://watchlaterapp.com http://watchlaterapp.com can do it. You buy credits ($0.01/min) to download a cached copy (to an ipad, I think you can do web too), but as others have mentioned, not for YouTube.
- iamclovin 15y agoHey yes we do (including the Big You! ;) We think we have an interesting twist on the way you can get videos on to your iOS devices. We're working really hard polishing up the experience for the user right now, so we'll be sending out invite codes really soon. Thanks everyone for signing up.
- voidfiles 15y agoThe nature of the youtube problem isn't technical. Any hacker can figure out how to download a youtube video. The problem is policy. You will get thwarted, shutdown or sued. You can't build a business on top of subverting youtubes TOS. It won't work.
