Downloading YouTube and other flash videos from the 'net?

[GreenPartyVoter]

I have a bunch I want to save and I used to see a download video option at youtube (I think realplayer put it there) but I don't see it anymore. :(

Help?

1. There's a utility/program out there

Hopefully someone will post it. I could use it too.

2. Hope they do. I prefer to use something on the advice of someone from here rather than just

randomly grabbed from a google search.

3. First, download this....

Then, download this to play them in FLV format.

5. Can I burn them to DVD and get them to play back on a DVD player and a tv?

7. Not in FLV format, I don't believe.

I've never done that, but I'm pretty sure you would have to convert the FLV file to a different type (I think to Mpeg2 format). And you need to know if your DVD player will play that format (most newer DVD players can).

I did find this program that converts FLV to DVD, which has a free trial download.

Sorry I can't help beyond that. I don't even have DVD rom drive on my PC though, so I've never even tried to do it.

6. I couldn't get it to work on the videos from youtube :^( Edit

I think I might have figured it out.

Had to download quicktime to get the whole thing to work (MP4s)

Thx!
