1. Go to: http://www.youtube.com and choose a video. Copy the video URL adress.

2. Go to: http://www.savevid.com and paste Video URL that you had chosen. And click download. And Don't forget: on the saving window You must change video name as "video001.avi". It is important to put ".avi" at the end of video name.

3. Go to: http://www.effectmatrix.com/total-vid... and click to download Video Converter exe. And Install the program.

Or... Try this way. Here the program Download link:

4. Put the converted video into "My YouTube Videos" and delete the other video that you downloaded from savevid.com And now you can start to watch videos with Windows Media Player.

Also you can convert videos to audio files (mp3) just for good quality music clips.

There's also various plug-ins for the Firefox browser that you can use to download the videos directly. Just enter Youtube in the search add-ons dialog. 1-Click YouTube Video Downloader works well enough for me.

Since the videos are in Flash, I don't think the conversions to MP4 (or whatever format) are always that great, but they're a nice way to get a song you want to try for a while. [;)]

For Windows, I use Orbitdownloader. It's probably not as easy as the Firefox plug-in, but it works for any browser and most websites. It's basically a download manager that can intercept URLs from your browser.
