How to Download Videos from Youtube and Other Sites

There are a number of sites which now allow you to download your videos directly from youtube and any other video site you like.

Usually, you can download the files in FLV (Flash Video) format, which will not be playable by Windows Media Player or many other popular media players. Don't worry... you can download a free FLV player... more on that later.

Some of the sites which allow you to download video are:

KeepVid

You can also use a plugin for Firefox that will let you download any videos from almost any site on the web.
