If you have Firefox, this is a great program and easy to use.

Video DownloadHelper 2.5.3 Homepage
by mig

The easy way to download Web videos from hundreds of YouTube-like sites.
This works also for audio and picture galleries.

DownloadHelper is a tool for web content extraction. Its purpose is to
capture video and image files from many sites.

Just surf the Web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can
do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to
download files by simply clicking an item

For instance, if you go to a YouTube page, you'll be able to download
the video directly on your file system. It also works with MySpace,
Google videos, DailyMotion, Porkolt, iFilm, DreamHost and others.

When you are on a page containing links to images or movies, you can
download some or all of them at once. Moving the mouse over the items in
the menu will highlights the links directly in the page to make sure
they are the ones you want to pick up.

DownloadHelper also allows you to download files one by one, so that you
keep bandwidth to surf for other stuff to download.

To modify your preferences, like changing the download directory,
right-click on the icon and choose "Preferences".

When you first install the extension, your browser is redirected to a
welcome page with links to a user manual at
http://www.downloadhelper.net/manual.php and a faq at
http://www.downloadhelper.net/faq.php

This does not change your homepage setting and the welcome page won't
appear anymore.

Support can be obtained from http://www.downloadhelper.net/support.php

Hey Sammy,
I use Zamzar to rip YouTube vids to my hard-drive. There is no
program to install on your computer. You just copy and paste the url
and Zamzar will convert it to mpg, avi fvl or whatever you want and
send a notice to your email so you can download it. Anyway, it's
simple.
