I use YTD Video Downloader.

I use RealPlayer. A tab is always floating above the you tube video asking if I want to download. I then convert it for whatever format i need including Mac.

Thanks, downloaded the realplayer program but it wouldn't save the YouTube clip.

Download "Freecorder" it loads a Freecorder toolbar where one of the icons is a YouTube downloader. This gives you the option of a variety of formats to save the video in. I've used it for some time and it seems to work well.

If you use safari you can download any video, it's slightly longwinded but works, best do a search in google for it if you're interested.

Hi, I asked the same question in 2010 because with so much fantastic information and help on YouTube and terrible internet abroad i wished to download it to hdd and view it at leisure or when i had a problem on board without needing an internet connection.
I use Mozilla Firefox as a browser and have downloaded the free add on which I can click on and it will download the YouTube video or any video from any YouTube like sites.
The nice thing about the add on, because it is an add on it does not come with baggage so you probably wont find a new icon in your desktop screen or another programme loading on your boot up (slowing you down).

There are the same deals going with chrome and Safari (mac), windows explorer (pc users)if all else fails just type into YouTube 'how do i download video from YouTube using 'my type of browser'.
I hope that helps and good luck, ps let us know what videos you have downloaded because I would suggest a forum meet up to share all our 'good' videos at the pub or club at some stage. I used to do it with movies and music when i was younger, we also used to play computer networked 'shoot up' games too.... Ahh good times, now its all done over the internet so lets social it up and not create a digital trail as to what we are sharing onlne

Thanks to everyone who replied - in the end the Firefox and Firefox added on made it all very seamless. This was the main video I wanted to download and keep http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMtjpADGz7k it was the for sale video we stumbled on accidently when looking for a steel ketch but this came up on Google. Nearly a year later we bought her. No I can watch it and go "fixed that, fixed that, can't afford to fix that, fixing that this weekend, fixed that, fixed that......"
