Shmilly 519 Posted January 27, 2014 Occasionally I like to download the odd PV from YouTube to put on my iPod, but I recently encountered a problem. All the usual methods of downloading a video from YouTube don't seem to work - either the link is invalid or a download can't be produced. And I think it's because the video is region-locked to Japan. Since I'm currently in Japan, I could watch it just fine. Is it possible to download Japanese videos at all? For those wondering, the PV in question is the full version of abingdon boys school's WE aRE, which is actually different from the version on the single (trust me, I own it).

Rize 1593 Posted January 27, 2014 Yes, it's region locked. I can't view that video in the Netherlands, I guess that explains all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shmilly 519 Posted January 27, 2014 But is it possible to download it somehow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 10212 Posted January 27, 2014 Have you tried using these plugins? - 1-Click YouTube Video Downloader [Firefox] - Chrome YouTube Downloader [Chrome] Can be found here. lol, I know your problem though. I can watch it using a Japan proxy but I just can't download it directly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shmilly 519 Posted January 28, 2014 Unfortunately the download button simply doesn't appear at all on Japanese videos. Oh well, I guess it can't be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
