With Opera 9 I have noticed that after watching something on youtube the video file can be found in the CACHE4 directory (either with .flv or .tmp extension) so in other words it is downloaded and saved to disk automatically.

Upthread, someone has already mentioned this method. But if you don't mind sitting and watching a video for 8 minutes, the following video has someone explaining how to download a video from Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBzqQjDQH6A

To download from youtube i use this program..
the link to download the program:

http://www.freewarefiles.com/program_5_173_23255.html

1. After you install it in your computer.. paste the URL for the video you want to download it & click on download..
2. choose the video format for the video you will download ( I prefer avi ) ..it's better to keep other chooses as it & don't change it then click ok..
3. then it will appear a box to save it where you want & click ok..
4. it will begin to download & after it finish you can watch it ..

It's better than other way you can change the video format not to save it as flash & then try to find a program to convert.. it much easier..

I read somewhere on this site about the best FLV player other than the "FLV player", but forget what it is. There is one told "one of the best FLV player is VLC." It works like magic. I don't know why, today - this time some FLV files don't work with the VLC so I googled possibly another FLV players, but the result isn't what I expected. Would someone kindly tell me what it is called? Thanks!

okay i`ve seen alot of you guys have different ways of downloading from youtube..
before i use to use keepvid but not anymore since it a .flv file and i don't really want that

so now i use this other program that's pretty easy call VDownloader all you have to do is download the zip file and then enter a youtube/google/dailymotion vid and save it.. it will automatically save it in .avi format but if you want it another then you can change it to either mpeg or psp
you can also change the video size and yeah.. simple ^^
hope that's gonna help someone :lol
