If any of you guys see a video online that you want,while you are watching it open up a new tab and go to http://keepvid.com/ . copy the url of the video you are watching into the website and you can save it to your computer

I was watching a Youtube video the other night and wanted to save it to my computer but was unable to figure out how. Is keepvid.com the answer?

You MIGHT want to give this a try. It on RARE occasion tells you the server is too busy. All videos end up on your PC in the FLV file format so do a Google search for a free FLV viewer, next. You have to copy/paste the YouTube link into the URL dialog box:

I use You-ripper. Its free and it saves it as a FLV file.

The latest free RealPlayer (v. 11) can save and play flash (flv) videos off websites, too. I use it all the time.

I know another site:

kcoolonline.com

You can also convert .flv files into .wmv so you could skip over some footage unlike viewing in .flv, it makes things a little screwy.

If you want to view it in .flv or .wmv, VLC media player is recommended.

This little doodad (a javascript bookmarklet) works in Firefox and Internet Explorer to add a link on a Youtube page to allow you to download the video as an MP4.
