    Is it possible to save a video from YouTube to your PC? It doesn't appear to be intuitive to me if there is. :)

      There is an Extension in Firefox known as Video Downloader[^] that does this.You need a special player known as FLV player to view the video, you may have to download it from the extension developer's website. Agni -- modified at 2:02 Friday 8th December, 2006

          If you're a Python-er, give this a whirl: http://www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/[^] The KeepVid site is easiest. You'll need an FLV player to view it.

                I've found a lot of bugs in it, but you can use UnPlug.

                          If I were ever to do such a thing ;-) I'd use the firefox plugin 'downloadhelper' to download the FLV, then use the open source app from SUPER (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) to convert FLV to standard formats. Not that I'd ever do such a thing :laugh:

                            If you open video in IE once and let the whole video buffer, it will save it automatically to your profile's temporary internet files but the trick is that dont close IE. Keep your IE open and copy the FLV file to another location. After that you need FLV Player to view the video.

                              Tried it - doesn't have an installer. And can't double click FLVs to play in Wimpy (even if you manually set the file association). Maybe try FLV player instead: http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10467081.html[^]
