Watch youtube moview on a Mac using QuickTime

Question

Is it possible to watch youtube videos on a Mac using QuickTime as it is on iOS? How to force Safari to render youtube video stream in QT plugin.

There’re a couple of Safari extensions that will do this. ClickToPlugin and ClickToFlash.

Both versions will swap out the Youtube Player for a standard HTML5 player. The extension also allows you to download the Youtube video.

I don't think you can since youtube videos are flash based (or in some cases HTML5 player based).

I did find a link that might help you a little:

I often have to use Videobox's mini browser. I copy the URL from the YT site to the mini browser.

I set the Videobox output to a QT format. you can even batch downloads. I hope this helps.

	good work around, but it is quite complicated - copying URL ald watching video in other app. – maseth Dec 27 '12 at 18:06
	it's not so bad, and I can make a queue to download and convert. But I hope you find something that works for you. – David DelMonte Dec 27 '12 at 20:55
