Download YouTube movies to playback movies on their site. In addition to being universally supported on most computers, one of the many benefits of using Flash from a publishers standpoint is making it harder for people to download the movies. It’s not impossible and depending on how the Flash movies are played, you can sometimes simply dig in your Temp directory for the file because the server actually downloads the entire movie to your computer during playback. If you find a YouTube video you like, copy the URL to the page the video is on, paste it into the KeepVid download look up, choose YouTube from the list of sites and click the Download button.
For YouTube movies, it’s easier to let someone else do all the hard work of locating the file. My favorite solution for download YouTube movies is a Website called KeepVid, which locates downloads from a handful of Internet sites. It’s one of the few sites I bother bookmarking.
KeepVid will find the download link and provide instructions on how to download it.
Follow the directions and you’re almost done.YouTube uses the FLV Flash format, which isn’t immediately playable. You also need an app to play it back. Windows users will want to grab a copy of FLV Player to watch the files on your computer.
A better option is the shareware app SWF.max, which shows thumbnails of the movies and adds a number of features to control playback.

How to Save YouTube Videos - You want to show your class a Netsmartz Internet safety video or the “Hero in the Hallway” anti-bullying song, but your school’s Internet filtering software blocks YouTube.
One alternative is to Save YouTube Videos to your computer at home and then bring it to school on a CD-ROM or thumbdrive. Here’s how:
1.
Enter the page address of a YouTube video that you want to download (i.e., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACUxJ6fq2IY)
Click the “Start” or “Convert and Download” button.
Transfer the file to a thumbdrive or CD-ROM, then bring it to school and play it for your students through a projector.
Browse to Vixy.net or Vconvert.net
Select the file format in which you want to save the video (.mov, .avi, etc.)
Wait while the file is converted, and then download it to any location on your hard drive when the download window pops up.
If you have a laptop that you use at both school and home, you might consider installing Miro, a free, open source video viewer. Miro works a lot like iTunes, but for video content.
