How to Download YouTube Videos

1. Enter the video URL into the form below.
2. Hit "Download Video" & wait for the video link.
3. Click on the download link to save the video.
4. Rename "video.flv", e.g. to Youtube.flv.
5. Download a free FLV player to watch on your PC
YouTube videos are encoded in FLV (flash video) format.
Hence, you need a special FLV video player to watch the downloaded videos - they won't play on your regular Windows Media player, at least not without a plugin.
One of the earliest and most popular FLV player (4.77MB) was created by Martijn Devisser.
