Hi Christian

I am using the coursera video downloader bookmarklet & it works great.

I was wondering if you know of a similar good (as in lightweight) way(bookmarklet, extension, etc) to download udacity videos (which are youtube videos & unlike coursera, not organized all on one page) ?

Thanks,
cnh

Thanks! Glad you like it :D

I'd use something like a Chrome YouTube video downloader extension (a bunch exist; here's one: http://www.chromeextensions.org/other/easy-youtube-video-downloader/ ). I haven't used Udacity as much, so I can't offer any specific advise.

Cool. Thanks a ton Christian. I have been stalking you on twitter :) Are you back in the US now ? If possible, can you email me your email address ( ashish dot makani at gmail dot com) Thanks a ton, cheers ashish

Creepy o_O

Not back in the US yet, unfortunately. Currently enjoying a holiday to Sydney :D

Oh ok. I just needed some advice on js stuff. I want to write a push button bookmarkelet for udacity, just like you did for coursera. Also maybe extend your coursera thingy, to include other sections (pdf lecture notes), with optional check boxes I hate chrome extensions with a passion. On my machine, chrome runs very slow & the fact that all chrome extensions must consume a ton of memory & need access to all my chrome data, is so lame. </rant> :)
