Question

does anyone know how to download videos from youku? i know how to download youtube vids but it doesnt work for youku

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Clipnabber.com or IDM (internet download manager) or a plugin for firefox.

The problem with youku is they split the movie into segments so you will have to use freeware called HJsplit to join the files.

I have to watch them as I am streaming it because of that stupid system as they you can't leave it running and come back like normal things (megavideo etc..)

It is a pain but thats just how it is. The reason they prob split them into 10 minute ish segments is to minimize server strain as you can't be conviently downloading several large movies at once only little pieces of them as you go. Clever and utterly evil.
