This question would be best served in the COMPUTERS section, so I'm moving it.

I recall someone there once posted a web site that did exactly what you want. Hopefully they'll see this.

only thing that you have to do is when you are viewing a youtube movie, is copy the url of that particular video, then go to: http://www.techcrunch.com/get-youtube-movie/

then paste the url of the video there!

simple the file will be on your computer

No Problem Kenny

I've used the url on the internet for several months. A friend of mine gave me this one after d/l several programs that were nothing more then demos and to tell you the truth free is always better especially when your on a fixed income.

if you used it you will see how simple it is, just copy the url of the youtube vid and past it in the url! 1, 2, 3,!

Everything worked as described but I'm on a Mac and the resulting video file couldn't be opened by any of my apps. Any suggestions?
