type in "youtube downloader" into google. some review and d/l link for freeware or trial program that lets you d/l videos from youtube will pop up on cnet (safe and reliable site). download the one you want and voila!

some tips:

once you download it, usually it will be in the flv video format, which you might not be able to play on your computer unless u have the right codecs. you can solve this problem two ways:

1/ download a .flv player (freeware on the internet) or the right codec for your existing media player

2/ download a video converter so you can convert .flv to a more mainstream format like avi, mov, etc.

does that work for the yt movies too? i gotta find that software..

The simplest option would be:

If you're already using Firefox as your browser, then all you have to do is install the Video DownloadHelper; this "addon" will enable you to download those flash videos and mp4s from youtube and similar sites.

Otherwise, download, install and use Firefox as your browser, and then install that "Video DownloadHelper" addon.

Then finally, you'd also have to download and install some flashvideo (flv) player, or even better a complete media player and codec pack, such as XP Codec Pack. This is what would allow you to play different types of videos on your PC.

Happy downloadin and watchin. beerchug.gif

www.file2hd.com

if there's some high quality audio you want to convert to mp3, then afterwards, upload the downloaded FLV file to a site like www.flv2mp3.com

If you're using Firefox, then the simplest way would be to install this add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11869

Once you installed it, you'll start seeing a link on every youtube video, which will allow you to download the Video as a mp4 file.

Some will get deleted eventually. For being too naughty or copyright crap etc.

Chat is a very popular activity for young people, especially teenagers, but it is also the area where they are most likely to get into trouble. When you're in a chat area, it's easy to forget that you are in a public "place" and that you don't necessarily know the true identity of anyone in the chat room. It's common to "meet" someone in a chat area who gains your confidence by being sympathetic and willing to "listen" to your problems. Children and especially teens need to be extremely careful in chat rooms. They should never reveal their identify and they should never assume that someone is as he or she seems to be. They should NEVER agree to meet someone in person based on a friendly online chat without talking to their parents. If parents agree to the meeting, they or another adult should be present and it should be in a public place.

yes, I use firefox to download YouTube video. It's quite easy and fun until I found that .flv doesn't support by many of my mobile phone, iPod and so on.
If you have ever run into this problem, I would like to recommend to sothink free video converter. It works well to convert FLV to any desired formats.
Happy to share! icon_wink.gif
