I do not know anyone who hasn't heard of YouTube. It is the most
popular video website on the Internet. Most of us would like to
keep the video files after seeing them, but YouTube doesn't allow
users to do so easily.

Most people I know use Firefox. I use Opera so I will show you
how to download a video from YouTube without using any addons for
your browser. This is for Microsoft Windows operating systems only.

1. Find the video on YouTube. When it has finished loading,
copy the URL from the address bar. For example:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=esd b-rjWKPA&feature=related
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UMo DViSuyxA&feature=bz301

2. Go to http://www.downloader9.com/ and paste the copied video
URL to the field. Push the "Get YouTube Video" button and
save the video as a .flv file on your hard disk. It is best
to save all your video files to the same folder, for example
to My Documents\My Videos . That way it is easier for you to
create playlists for your video files.

3. Go to http://www.saveyoutube.com/you tube-flv-player-converter.htm
and download the free flv player.

4. Install the player and you can easily view all your favourite
videos from YouTube anytime you want by double-clicking on the
video where you saved it.

This is the method I use for downloading some of my favourite
videos from YouTube. It is fast and reliable. Also, when you install
flv player, you can view your videos in BSplayer, too. If you have
Macromedia Flash Player installed on your computer, be sure to configure
it so that .flv files are played with flv player or BSplayer, else it will
not work.

Here are some more websites for downloading YouTube videos and playing them.
Some of them allow you to download videos from other sites, too:
