    Software to download Youtube Videos to Computer

    Hi all,

    Would be grateful for any recommendation for a free software to download Youtube videos from its website (I believe they are FLV videos?).

    Anyways, something light. I don't need any video editing. Just pure download features (if there are any such program).

    Many thanks for your help

    There are loads of firefox plugins for this.

    Did you want specific software as an alternative to that?

    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    realplayer can downloads flv's.

    check in preferences > download and recording (although i seem to remember that theres an option to enable it, while you are installing it)

    I've used Keep Tube (an online medium) for this in the past (it offers the various qualities/sizes of each video too).

    I use http://www.yourvideofile.com/

    took me a couple of goes to realise that you need to download as HD to get the HD content, but ever since then I've been amassing music videos at a rate of knots....

    Re: Software to download Youtube Videos to Computer

    If you use Linux on any of your computers, just copy/paste the cache files from /tmp/ they start with Flash followed by some random characters, IIRC; just wait until the video is fully buffered. You can drag them onto something like VLC and they will play but you can add the .flv extension to make them easier to open, obviously.
    Just don't download anything copyrighted.
