download the new realplayer, it lets you download streamed videos onto your hard drive

u cant get in trouble for it bc i have done it for a long time now and i havent got in trouble yet.........(cant bc it aint illegal)

Get Real player.It's great and free!!!This is how it works when you go on to youtube just wave the mouse over the video and an icon should pop up and say download video or something and click the option and there you go it will automatically download the video on the realplayer and you can view it whenever.I had the same problem with youtube and then when I wanted to view it again it would say the video was removed due to terms of violation.But once I downloaded the real player I no longer had the problem.Hope this helps.(I know it will).

Use http://zamzar.com/url and follow the step-by-step instructions. Be sure to use the avi. format, though. Just copy the link of the YouTube video, choose the format(which I showed you), type your email address. and convert the video. Then they'll send you the link through your email to download the video. This site is most efficient for downloading online videos like YouTube without having to download or buy any kind of software.

some sites can be slow..
