Try first to right click on the video link and select save target/link as. If it wont work try record / save the stream using / saving the streaming media :

Google, youtube or other flash flv video
Use http://keepvid.com/ or or http://www.keepv.com/ or http://videodownloader.net to download.
Or
Install the Firefox browser http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ then install the
DownloadHelper https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3006/
or VideoDownloader plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/ or
Unplug plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2254/ or

WM Recorder 11.0 will record .FLV files.

There is no easier way now than the new version of Real Player. When the video starts to play, place your cursor over the video and a drop down window will appear to give you the option of downloading.

It is 100% FREE.

Hi guys. Are there any other sites for downloading youtube videos besides keepvid.com ??
If there are, could they also be added to the list (when the admin gets arounds to it) at the
top of this forum. I'm sure there are other people like myself who visit this topic in hopes
for any updated/new links of such sites.

I know there is another site, but I can't remember the name, and I use it at work because
they have keepvid blocked, but not the one I use, so far. But I'd like to have other options
available in case they block the one I'm using currerntly. I think its called xvide or something
like that.

Thank you,

I've been testing out some of the programs listed at the top and WMRecorder works best for capturing the streams and they play the same as they're shown on the pc.

Only problem is it saves my file as an .asf file, i'm saving the files in a share folder so i can play them on my big t.v. using a standalone mediaplayer and wifi (but the player doesn't play .asf files).

So is there another program that can do the same and convert on the fly to another format like .xvid or wm9 etc.

thanks for the help

Try renaming the extension from .asf to .wmv, and see if that works. ASF is actually the predecessor to WMV/WMA, though it's not that far removed, and it's still being used quite a bit in streaming.
