Have you ever wanted to download a youtube video? This post will show you how!
Simply add this link to your favorites or bookmarks: Download YouTube Video
If you have firefox, simply drag this link to your Link Toolbar (bookmarklets).
Now that you have it bookmarked, follow these simple steps:
1. Go to the youtube page for the video you would like to download
2. Click the bookmark that you just created
3. A dialog should popup asking you to save the file to disk.
Ok, so now that you have downloaded the video, how do you play it? Well, YouTube's MP4 videos can be played with applications like VLC, MPlayer, iTunes, QuickTime. If the download video is a FLV file (as some YouTube videos can only be downloaded as MP4 files) then use the FLV Player
