is this something different from youtubemp4.com? sorry i'm not tech-savvy at all. ;-; i'm not sure how it captures the HD stream vs the normal stream?

Yep, just tried it out, this makes a HUGE HUGE difference. That site is only getting the normal-quality stream. It comes out as 20MB, 480x270 resolution, versus 68MB, 1280x720 resolution for the HD-quality stream saved with the method I described above.
