    I would HIGHLY suggest that you download the latest Real Player to download streaming videos. The new Real Player has a function that lets anyone download any video that is hosted online on any number of sites including Youtube, Myspace, Veoh, and much more. It saves it to your comp in the .flv format.

    If you want it in mp4 format so you can put it on and ipod or a psp, you need to get a convertor such as the Free Video Convertor by Koyote Soft (just google it if you want it). This convertor can then convert any saved videos of any format to any other format.

    Next are the steps about how to download and view Youtube videos.

    1,

    Go to this website: http://www.downflv.com/index.php → paste the url of the Youtube video into the first field→click "Fetch It" → click the link of the result after the result appearing.

    Then it will download the video with your browser Mozilla Firefox or the download software on your PC. After downloading, the name of the video is "get_video", and it will be placed on your desktop. You can rename it and add its extension as "flv".

    2,

    Go to: http://www.aunsoft.com/flv-player/ to free download this program: Aunsoft FLV Player. It's free and very easy-to-use. What's more, when I view the downloaded videos with the player, they get clearer.

    The whole process is easy, free and safe.

    Realplayer, it pops up a little box above the video if you use IE.

    Otherwise google JaviMoya, once it's downloaded you'll need to use a converter unless you plan to watch it on your PC.

    I recommend SUPER. Both are free.

    If you have problems playing it, VLC Player is your best bet.

    Drop me a line for more help.
