Download videos from GT

So if you're wanting to download a video from the GT website, and it's not available on Youtube, follow this quick and fairly easy guide. Chrome is required, Opera and Firefox have similar tools but I don't know how they work.

1. Find the video page you want to download from.
2. Go to Options icon at the top right of Chrome (the 3 horizontal lines).
3. Go to More Tools -> Developer Tools.
4. Click the 'Sources' tab.
5. Find 'embed.gametrailers.com', expand 'embed', double click '<long number>autoplay=1'
6. Scroll down (or ctrl+f if you're feeling lazy) to "media": [
7. Find the version of the video with the highest bitrate and delete all the stuff after the question mark.
8. You should be left with something like:
http://wpc.10016.edgecastcdn.net/0010016/gtcomstor/media/videos_root/games/2012/09_sep_2012/sep_18/gt_ratchet_clank_retrospective_part2-3500_kbps.mp4
9. Open the URL, right click, save as.

Oddly, the highest bitrate versions of the videos are quite a bit higher quality than viewing them on the actual site.

It looks more complicated than it is and it'll make you feel like a leet haxor looking at all the website internals, heh. So go for it if there's something you'll miss.

I wonder if this'll get me a ban, heh. To be the last person banned on the GT forums would be an honor honestly.

No you won't be banned for this. Even prior to it's closure you wouldn't have been
