One reason you may want to use VLC instead of Youtube to watch videos is so that you can change the playback speed (see post on how to do that here). Fortunately, this is very easy to do!
After you have the URL copied, open VLC and go to Media>Open Network Stream...
You can save the video is a similar fashion by going to Media>Convert/Save then pasting the URL and telling VLC where to save the video file.

Write commentsCannot do it. Media, Open network stream, Enter URL.... I enter URL, and get error message:
ReplyYour input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf_DAVNUDsk'.
Check the log for details.
I tried removing the 's' from https, I dropped the http altogether, it doesn't work.
well until youtube gets their head out of their behinds and allows for gradual speed moderation, i'm definately glad i found this article. thanks!
