[movies] How to download youku videos

[Union1 33]

Youku is a site that likes to protect its videos so they made it very hard to download them but luckily i can help.

The tricky part about youku is that it divids the movie into blocks of 425 seconds or less. In order to download the movies using the method in this turtorial u need to dl this addon:

(firebug)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ad...s/versions/1843

 

Go to the page where the movie is on

 

for the turtorial im gona use this page:

http://static.youku.com/v1.0.0301/v/swf/qp...=-&showAd=0

(im gona upload the screenies because i dont like imageshack)(screeny1)

 

So first wat you wana do is go to the youku page and click the green check (screeny3)

 

Then goto net in the firebug menu and goto html in the new menu that pops up(screeny4)

 

Then look in that list and download the file named password (use a download accelerator)

(to do that right click on password and say copy location) then put the link in your download manager.

 

 

Open that password.htm file with a text editor. The password.htm file from the example:

We only care about the stuff that i bolded. That tells you how many parts their are so the last 1 is 10 so add 1 to it 10+1 is 11 so there is eleven parts to it. Skip 7 minutes of the movie; now do it again and again until u reach the end of the movie. The look in the firebug console it will have weird numbers in it. download all those wierd numbers.

 

Congrades you just downloaded a youku video.

 

Post all questions here

Why not just download the videos from a filehost like rapidshare or filserve/hotfile/mediafire/wupload/ etc..

 

 

You can use rapid8 or leech.buploads to download as a premium user and to search for the movies use a warez forum like warez-bb or icefilms

 

To increase the speeds parse it up with IDM or Jdownloader + the said websites to obtain premium speeds.

 

This yuku stuff is amateur.
