How do you save a video from youtube or a web page to disc for offline viewing?

Question

How can you save a video to disc from either youtube or a webpage to view offline later? Do I need a special program for this? I have tried numerous methods already without success. I am using Firefox. Thanks...

Answer 1

I have real player version 11 and I use internet explorer. Surprisingly whenever I watch a video in youtube (or any site which shows in flash player), I can see a tooltip type option to stream the video into "my videos" folder by real player. It may work for you as well, I would suggest you to get real player.

Answer 2

there are many websites which provide this function, just Google.
