Saving files from youtube?

[Questor]

Is it possible to save files from youtube? If so, how?

 

[Questor]

Add it to your favorites list?

Thanks, but I don't think that will do it. I want to be able to copy it so that I can see it when I am not hooked up to internet. If I bookmark it, that only takes me to the website. If I'm not hooked up, I can't see it. I want to be able to burn it to dvd.

Questor... this one isn't easy, but if you look on your system, in the following directory...
Documents and settings>user name>local setting>temporary internet files, you might see some *.flv files, these are flat video files... as a matter of fact do a search for *.flv on your system... you might just find that Youtube. redtube and others have created a cache location of the file on your system.

Then download a program called FLVPlayer - I run version 1.3.3 it's a Drop and load of FLV's... this should get you some of the videos.

But it usually dl's in .flv files so you'll need a flv to avi converter, then burn it to DVD and
then you can watch in on TV

FLV converters:

Here's another site for the Firefox add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3242

And from this website you can directly dl: http://keepvid.com/

 

[Esco!]

there are many of these types of sites. Remember though they will download them in .flv format, you will need a flv player .

You also may have to rename the file to an .flv extension, or it wont play
