More Info & Links
In this video we run you through 4 different methods of downloading a YouTube video and convert it to another file type (.mov in this case).
4 Methods
1. Convert online and download already converted file
2. Download the YouTube .flv (flash video) file then convert it
3. Use the FireFox Add-On 'Video DownloadHelper' to download .flv and convert it
4. (old school) Just watch any YouTube video and grab the file out of your temporary internet folder and convert it
1. Convert online using http://vixy.net and http://convertyoutube.com (as you'll see, vixy.net didn't want to play nice. It does work and is the most popular online convert and download site. So popular it is having trouble handling the load). This is perhaps the easiest way and doesn't require you to download any software, although both sites also do have a software version that makes this process more reliable. Other online conversion sites are:
http://www.convertdirect.com/
http://media-convert.com/
http://www.zamzar.com/ (this one will email you the converted file)
2. Use a YouTube flv (flash video) download site and convert it with WinFF video converter (free software http://www.winff.org/ )

4. Just watch the YouTube in Internet Explorer and then grab the .flv (flash video) file from your temporary internet folder then convert it with WinFF.

To play YouTube's flv files on your computer:
VLC media player (Freeware) flv (plays just about every video file type)
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
"VLC Media Player, play everything anywhere"

**** There is also the RealPlayer option which will allow downloading of videos right from the browser. That will work too BUT I would NEVER have RealPlayer on my computer ...
RealPlayer is "badware" (ie: spyware-lite)

I hope this helps you.
