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.

Very handy. I’ve been using Zamzar (similar site) to do the same thing!
I had a quick look on Zamzar and it looks a lot better than keepvid. I might have to give it a go sometime. The extra file formats could be handy.
