I have experienced many of my favorite Youtube videos somehow "disappearing".
It could be censorship or the person who uploaded disabled it.
Well, if you really love a video, let's say it's DIY or a topic that interest you, I found a solution. Add the link at this website and it would download to your PC! Voila!
You will be in control and find it anytime you need it:

Updating the below information on Feb 9th 2021, as I don't like having the obligation to download a program in order to download a video.

As we are at it, I get from my dear girlfriends a lot of fine videos downloaded from instagram. I have no clue how they do it. I found out information at:
How to save videos from Instagram
Save Instagram videos and preserve those special memories
Save Instagram videos on an iPhone
The security restrictions in place with iOS mean that downloading Instagram video is not quite as straightforward as on the desktop, but it's still not too tricky – all you need is the right app.
One option is Blaze: Browser & File Manager. Just copy the URL of an Instagram post from the Instagram app an then paste it into Blaze. Next, you need to tap the download button, and then select the option to 'Export video To Camera Roll'. Of course, you can also use any of the web based options mentioned above if you prefer.
Save Instagram videos to your PC
There are numerous websites that let you download Instagram videos, and they all work in pretty much the same way. One of the easiest, sleekest and most reliable, however is DreDown.
To make use of the site, you'll first need to visit Instagram and load up the video you're interested in. Copy the URL from the address bar of your web browser, switch to the DreDown page, click the Instagram link at the top, and then paste the URL into the text bot on the DreDown page. Hit the DreDown button, wait while the video is analysed and then download it.
Other web-based services that work in a similar way include DownloadGram and Download Instagram Videos.
note: perhaps this one is good to share via email, as it would be more practical.'
1. Download Instagram Plus (Chrome)This extension is convenient and effective. It allows you to download videos and photos from Instagram. If you go to an account’s profile and hover your mouse over a post, you can see that all posts have this icon. Clicking on the icon will immediately download the video. This is a handy tip for those who want to mass download posts. This can work for private accounts as well, as long as you’re following them.
It also supports IGTV downloads. Though for this, you will have to go to each video and download it from there.
Here’s how to use it.
- Once added to Chrome, each post on your Instagram feed will have a small icon on the top left.
- To download your video, click this icon.
The download may take a little while, around a minute or so.

On May 1st, my girlfriend sent me these two youtube video links. I had saved them as I didn't have time to check them out. Today I tried them and guess what, they don't WORK anymore:
