How To Save Videos From YouTube

Posted in: DIY

It’s amazing to me that, just because I use a computer every day, so many of my friends and family think I’m an IT guy, inasmuch as I really don’t know shit from shinola. However, once in a while I come across something useful to pass on. Here’s something that I get asked once in a while: “How do I save a video from YouTube(etc)? Easy peasy, and probably old hat to you lot, but just in case…

1) Go to the video you want, then copy the link/address to it…
2) Go to VideoDl.org and paste the link/address in the space provided…
3) Once it says to download it, save it, but make sure you change the name of the file so that it is a FLV type (ex. – call it CrampsGarbageman.flv)…
4) Replay it with a free Flash/FLV player (such as Flvplayer) …I think this is the one I got, but it’s been a while).

Got a better method? Care to share?
