Hi,
In case anybody is interested, here is from the latest CloudEight newsletter:
“How to download and convert online videos
Windows XP and Windows Vista
This tip is in response to a number or readers who have asked how to download YouTube videos and convert them to different video formats.
There are many programs available that will allow you to download and save video files from YouTube and other sites. However, many of them are not free, and many of them are adware, spyware or worse. If you want to save your favorite Web videos on your computer (or download them and convert them to other formats) you're going to need a program that will enable you to do it.
We've found none better, safer or easier to use than YouTube Downloader. Best of all, YouTube downloader is free.
The following is a little paraphrase of the author's description - we've edited it somewhat:
YouTube Downloader is a freeware program that allows you to download videos from YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo Video, and many others and convert them to other video formats. The program is very easy to use, just type or paste in the URL for the video you want to download and click the Ok button.
YouTube Downloader allows you to convert downloaded videos for Ipod, Iphone, PSP, Cell Phone, Windows Media, XVid and MP3. You can use YouTube Downloader to download the videos of your choice from anywhere.
The file download size is about 5.6 MB. So, all you dialup users. keep in mind it's going to take about 30 minutes for you to download this program. All you broadband users - you will hardly see it download. You can get YouTube downloader from this location:
