    So we have a member who is making some videos that we would like to Show Case on MechSpecsTV but our Flashgot just won't allow us to download 1080p for some reason. The best we can get is 720p.

    What do YOU use to snag 1080p off YouTube?

    Lol remember it needs to be able to snag 1080p. I can easily get 720 already.

    Boooooooooooooooo.... I'm trying to transfer a video from one MechSpecs member to myself so that I can upload it on the MechSpecsTV channel without actually giving him the password for it. Guess his stuff will just have to be 720p :X

    I believe Google Drive has a 10 Gb file size limit. Pretty sure it is enough :p

    Here is info:

    You both need a Gmail, then you can share with set privileges so the other person can then download the file.
