Answer 2

The lastest Real player will let you download any FLV flies which include You Tube. You probably have that installed on your computer already.

Answer 3

I used Ashampoo Clipfinder and you can watch and download the video clips from youtube or other sites. its free.

Answer 4

U can try Moyea flv downloader. It downloads fast with very high quality, and it's FREE! I've been using it for a long time and it works very well.

Install and start the downloader.

You needn't get the url when downloading the vid.

Press "start recording".

Click in the page where the vid is playing.

The downloader will automatically save it to your hard drive.

Then you can watch it with the embeded flv player.

You can search "flv downloader" on google.com for more info.

Answer 5

You can't.As of now, Youtube doesn't allow users to download content (even it it's their own submitted video!)

Unless you use something like a hand video recorder to record the video playing on your computer, but the quality will be poor most likely.

There is software that makes it possible to record what's going on on your computer screen. It's often used  to record video game scenes and play, but I don't know much about it, and if you were to buy it I'm sure it'd be expensive and maybe even a little difficult to set up.

I also just came across this information that was posted by another yahoo answers member on another question.

Here is an easy way to download videos

go the video in youtube and copy paste the url into the space provided by the following sites-

http://www.bestube.com - a cool site which lets you download from youTube, Google Video, and iFilm. It also features video ranking, hot video list and personal collections of movies.

When you download YouTube videos , they are saved in the new.FLV (flash video) format. You will need to download a FLV player to watch these YouTube files on your PC. You can also convert YouTube videos to other formats like .MPEG with a FLV converter.
