Saving videos from youtube.

Hey all,

I know this was up for discussion before, but I cant seem to be able to find the thread.
Can anyone please tell me how I can save videos to desktop from Youtube?

I'd appreciate any advice.

I'm sure theres a way to do it with IE too but if you use firefox you can download a plugin (I use VideoDownloader) that will allow you to download the files in a .FLV format, you can either watch these files using FLV player of convert them to a different format using a media converter.

Hope this helps, of course you should only do this with non-copyrighted material, ya' kno' ?

Just copy the link to the youtube video (or any flash video) into that website and it'll open the download dialogue.

Handy tip: VLC plays .FLV files once downloaded.

UnPlug for Firefox also, think it works with the other plugins.
