According to YouTube terms of service, there are only 2 legal reasons to download YouTube videos. You must have either uploaded it or be a partner of the person who uploaded the video.
There is an excellent post over at communicatejesus.com explaining this, so I wont re-write that. You can view it here.
I am sorry if I have mislead anyone.
UPDATE: It’s not legit to download YouTube Videos. View post explaining here.
Have you ever seen a video on YouTube, and wished that you could download it onto your computer?
If this is you, then you should visit keepvid.com!
keepvid.com is a website that allows you to easily download YouTube videos to your computer as a .flv or .mp4 file (.mp4 is best).
Once you have downloaded the video file, you can then use it where ever you like (please don’t use it for profit). I have had success recently using this website to download video’s to use in presentations. This saves me from switching between a browser and the presentation, as well as allowing me to play YouTube videos without an internet connection.
If you save the link below as a bookmark, then whilst viewing a YouTube video at the YouTube site, you can immediately download it by clicking on that bookmark.
javascript:document.location=’http://keepvid.com/?url=’+escape(window.location);
So go and try it out at keepvid.com, download a YouTube video.
