How can you save a video off of youtube.com to the computer's hard drive?

Question

Since you can't right click and save like a photo image, how do you save one of the these videos to the hard drive to keep it?

Answer 1

open 2 browsers - one for the youtube.com site and the other open to http://keepvid.com/
in the youtube.com site - open up the video you're wanting to save
next highlight the http:// address and right click & copy
then in the other browser that's open to keepvid site
right click in the green section - and click Paste (you can either change the - from download site - to any of the names in the list in the drop down arrow list or leave it as it is)
next click download (to the right of the green strip)
next click on the download link just below that green strip
a window will pop up - click save and another window will pop up titled Save As - here you can rename the file or leave it as it is - which I believe the save as name by default will be get_video
- make sure you add .flv to the end of the name of the file
eg: Heart what about love.flv
click Save

once you get it saved you can convert the video to .avi or other formats using Moyea FLV to video converter which you can download a free version at the following site:
http://www.flash-video-mx.com/
the only thing with this free version is it leaves a "water mark" in the middle of the video - if you purchase this software you won't get that water mark

and with this program you can also convert it to an .mp3
(and no it doesn't leave any watermark or other sound defect - matter of fact it converts the file to an .mp3 format pretty good)

Answer 2

Well if you're logged into youtube just save it to your favorites and then make a folder on your computer and move the videos into there!
