The fellow might have been banned for stealing. He not only admits he cheats his employer by downloading what, porngraphy?, from You Tube during working hours, but brags about it and gives details of his method.

VDownloader for easy capture and conversion

keepvid.com will give the high quality MP4 version, and then you can copy it to your psp for example with no conversion needed, or use Avanti to convert to other formats

I keep trying all this and have only one problem.
IF I find a video on youtube and click on HD. The image is a lot better. When I put in the url to dl it I am getting the std video.
Is there any way to capture the HD versions?

from another thread:

oh, and one more thing... for those who still dont know how to download the specific video versions from youtube, go to video page and then paste the following into the address bar (changing &fmt=18 according to what versions you wish to download) and hit enter:
javascript:window.location.href='http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']+"&fmt=18";

then use Avanti to convert to another format if needed

Program size only 39Kb!
It knows all native YouTube video formats: HD, MP4, FLV, 3GP videos, preview video, auto start download, skip already downloaded files, clipboard monitoring, drag & drop from IE / Firefox, proxy support, multiple simultaneous downloads, etc.
I use it a lot!
