I've googled, and found several ways to download Youtube videos to my PC. Before I give it a try, I'm curious if any of you have done this? Which way worked best for you? Thanks for you help!

You're gonna need a FLV player to watch it, though you can get the MP4 (aka HQ 18) files from YouTube and play that using QuickTime or iTune.
If you prefer to convert format (e.g., from FLV to MPG), get or google "Format Factory."Beijing 8-08-08 to 8-24-08

In Safari (on a Mac anyway), it is possible too. Find the .flv in the Activity window, it will be the file that is taking a while to download, depending on the size of the file. Then copy/paste the URL into the Downloads window to get the .flv file, which you can then watch in Quicktime with the appropriate codec.

Re: How To Download Youtube Video?
I'm going to add something to this long-dormant thread and say that if you have a Mac, there's a great little (free) app called Evom (I guess it's move backwards?) that works wonderfully not only on YouTube videos but other websites with embedded video. It basically converts a large variety of video formats from one to another, including Flash video to Quicktime, which is what I usually use it for. If your phone shoots video in some weird format, or if you want to splice together several YouTube-type videos into one project using your video editing software, Evom will do it quickly and painlessly.
Using Evom, you just copy the URL of the website with the video and paste it into an Evom window. Then you choose the format you want to save it in and where you want to save it. It's remarkably easy.
This is not a paid endorsement, even though I suppose it sounds like it. I've used several of the apps from The Little App Factory and have found them all to be sleek and feature-filled, a rare combination.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)
