Comment on Ask HN: How can I download a video ads from YouTube

Comments

Since nobody else answered...

Step 1 - Pause the ad. Click on the settings icon and select "Statistics for nerds"

Step 2 - Look for the alphanumeric video id in the top middle and copy paste it into the URL bar over the current video id. If copypasting doesn't work, you need to type the id in manually.

Step 3 - Copy the new (ad) video link into one of the various YT video downloader sites and download it.

Thanks for watching my TED talk.

Many thanks for the tip, I am willing to attend to your next TED Talk.
