Have you ever had a playlist that you made, such as "Favorites" or "Liked Videos", and you come back to it perhaps after a year or more, and find some of the videos have been deleted, and all it says is "Deleted Video" and a grey icon instead of the video's thumbnail, so you have no idea what those videos which you had saved were?
If you find it frustrating to not even have the title of the video or the name of the channel that posted it listed on your now spotty playlist, this trick might help you. Copy and paste your playlist into an e-mail to yourself. This works using aol e-mail and Yahoo e-mail at least. When you paste your playlist into your e-mail, if you have "Rich Editor Mode Enabled", it not only posts the title of the video and the channel name, it also captures the video's thumbnail.
If you send this e-mail to yourself, and any time you add videos to your playlist you copy it and add it as a reply to that e-mail, or perhaps once every month or two go back and just copy your whole playlist, then you'll have the image of the playlist preserved intact, so that when some of the videos get deleted in the future, you will at least have the record of what that video had been, in your playlist e-mail to yourself.
You may also find it handy to have the playlist stored in your e-mail in this way because when you click on any of the video images in the e-mail, it should open that video in a separate window, while the playlist remains viewable in the e-mail, and you could even click more than one of the videos on that list from the e-mail, having each open in its own separate window.
This can be handier than clicking the video on the playlist within the YouTube website, because it redirects your window from the playlist to the individual video that you just clicked, and then if you want to return to the playlist you have to go through extra steps either using your back arrow, or clicking the links to your playlists and choosing the right playlist. But when clicking the links to the different videos on your playlist from your e-mail version of the playlist, you get the video and the playlist both open in separate windows, so there's less going back and forth when you want to check out different videos from that list.
