#1 YouTubeX – Save YouTube Videos — Here’s a site that’s handy for anyone wanting to capture the flash stream from Youtube to perhaps watch on a laptop while travelling or further transcoding for a small video device. It produces an FLV file that can be viewed with a Flash animation viewer such as this one found here at martijndevisser.com.
For Kindle and with free ePub version. Only $9.49 Great reading.
Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

I prefer keepvid.com since it will save videos from Youtube and lots of others sites too, such as Google Video, iFilm, Blip.tv, etc.
http://keepvid.com/
Once you use IE to view the video, it will be in your temporary indernet files. No special tools needed.
http://videodownloader.net is a good one too. I use it to save videos from google video, youtube and others. its great when you visit sites that have embeded videos too like http://www.clipaday.com and http://www.wombo.shacknet.nu, and a bunch of others
I haven’t ever really come across a video that I’d want to keep. I mean, teenagers lipsyncing bad pop songs is only interesting for about 4 seconds. That and people whining about their lackluster lives are really they only things on these sites.
I use the UnPlug addon for Firefox. Works great for all kinds of files on any site.
James, have you done a filesize/quality compariosn? I’d be interested.
Its keepvid for me, esp now with their button you can stick on your toolbar in FF and IE.
Its still a bugger that the crappy .FLV format is used though. The flv players that I’ve been able to find are useless. Wheres the codec for MP classic??
on a mac you can take the .flv and convert it to mpeg4 using isquint. I use unplug in firefox to get the flv and isquint to convert, perfect for video ipod
If you use safari on a Mac you can just click on Window > Activity and double click the flv file.
http://www.videodownloader.net also has a firefox extension. I find it to be the easiest and quickest (keepvid takes longer for the link to load).
you just a little icon and a popup with the download link shows up instantly.
you can get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/
The latest K-Lite pack lets MPC play FLV and others (FLAC, etc).
I like
http://www.youtubereviews.com
http://www.GetFLV.com offers the same functionality, with the addition that you don’t need to cut the url, just paste the whole watch url and it’ll do the processing by itself.
you should try out http://www.youtubia.com …it’s a full youtube clone that let you search and DOWNLOAD the entire video right to your PC…very neat
There are several sites that does this… like http://www.ripzor.com and youtubia.com — i like those better because they update when there is a change on how the videos are served.
Here’s another nice and clean looking website that lets you save YouTube videos to the PC – http://www.saveyoutube.com
hello
hope to benefit from this site
I use http://www.savetube.com to save any youtube videos, it has a cool latest section also.
I recommend http://www.snatchvid.com/ it’s very fast and simple
You can convert the flash (flv) files to mpeg (mpg) or mp3 – or even DVDs – using the instructions here: http://zztools.blogspot.com
