Avoid Ghost Town Posts
How many times have you seen a post like this, you read the exciting description and get to the video, and hit play and then…
“We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.”
Argg.. frustrating right.
Here is how to avoid this problem on your own blog. Each time you embed a youtube video, open up “Any DVD Converter” (or any similar program), and save the You Tube video as a flash file, and then save it, or upload it into a special folder on your blog. This way if your embedded You Tube video is removed, you can place your own copy on the blog (assuming there are no copyright issues). (Any DVD Converter is a free program, make sure you download the freeware version)

i just switched to google chrome and until now i have been using firefox and with firefox there was a program called download helper i have yet to check if they have it for chrome but they probably do. it will give you an option on almost every video page so you can download the video it is pretty cool. i never thought of backing up videos for the blog. almost every video i post gets removed but its for copyright so i would not want to repost it especially on my own server
