How can you save videos from Youtube to your computer?

Question

I've heard that its possible to save videos from Youtube to your computer. Please tell me how.

Answer 1

If you have Firefox then you could download the addon Video Downloader Helper.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox...

If not, the program OrbitDowloader, downloads from many of todays popular sites including Veoh.

If you don't want to use a program then I suggest you use ClipNabber, or YouConvertIt, or Vixy to download and convert off of many popular sites.

Answer 2

you could add to "favorites" on your computer

Answer 3

One option is Real player, which works fine, But I find it an annoyance, as it is bulky, 11MB setup file, plus adds yet another player, + real adds another couple of startup entries & yet another program that might crash windows...

I prefer to use addons in FireFox.. I use DownloadHelper.. Small add on, works from Firefox, no startups.. Simply downloads the file in FLV/AVI/MPG format.. The only drawback being that it does not record any streaming media like Real. If you wnat just Videos from Youtube, go for the small add-on.

Answer 4

You can try liteCam, I've been using it for few months to record YouTube videos and pretty happy with it. I've tried several programs, and it works the best for recording short (5-20 minutes) streaming videos.

They have 30 days trial as well.
