The precondition for any YouKu Tudou videos download or playback is the ability to access the site. But mind that you're able to access YouKu only in mainland China. For example, you may be familiar with the message "Sorry, this video can only be streamed within Mainland China." For those who don't even know how to access blocked YouKu videos outside China, there are ways.

VPN can bypass the geographical restriction and give you a China IP.
