How to save a YouTube video
How to save a YouTube video
Diego has written a summary how to save a YouTube clip on your hard disk:
1. Get a free extension for Firefox called VideoDownloader here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/
They explain everything you need to know about the extension in that website.
2. After downloading the videos (usually they are .flv Flash videos) you'll probably need to convert them to a more useful format like Quicktime .mov, you can do it with iSquint or VisualHub, get them here: www.isquint.org
There are also some web-based apps on the net which let you point at a HTTP address with the video you want and they automatically do the conversion for you online, they don't have a progress bar or anything though so it sucks because you never know if it's running or not. That's why I like the other method better.
Thanks Diego.

Just a note to say that the free cross-platform media player VLC plays .flv files perfectly. Google "VLC" and it should be the top link.

If you have SAFARI you dont need an extensions. just go to Window/activity, search for the .flv file, double click it and it will download to the desktop. When it's done you can use Isquint!
