Answers.Body: <p>Excuse me if I am assuming something that is incorrect.  It appears that you want to download some one else's hard work, modify it by removing any signs of ownership and the HTTPHostHeader, making it appear like you are the owner, and ran your own raw data thru Adobe.  Is that correct??</p>

Answers.Text: That could be it, but there's also legitimate use cases IMO: commenting on someone else's video in your own video or embedding a few seconds of it for legit purposes like criticizing it. I see people on YouTube do it constantly, I think (assuming you are in the US) it falls under the fair use clause. Other countries have similar stuff. That said I have no idea what OP plans on doing.

Body: <p>I installed adobe premiere cs4 and was really astonished by the fact that it's not possible to import a video downloaded from YouTube, but it is needed to convert it firstly. This application is weight about 3GB on my hard disk and now I must search for a plugin to import a video from YT.</p>
  
  <p>It would be perfectly if i could download a video directly into premiere, and also upload finished file up to youtube.</p>
  
  <p>The only result of my search is a paid plugin named moyea-importer - USD 70<br>
  Is there any free plugin for this task. Or any similar solution.<br>
  If not - in which format should I download youtube video, in which format should I convert it (what is the best converter for that) to make it editable in premiere.<br>
  Working on win xp sp3.<br>
  Thanks.</p>

Comments.Text: How exactly were you downloading youtube videos?  Youtube is a streaming video service.  I wasn't aware there was an option to download.  There are third party tools that will rip a Youtube stream to disk, but it is worth noting that, strictly speaking, most of those are against the Youtube TOS I believe.  Once you have an actual video file on your computer, Premiere is unlikely to have a problem opening it.
