You need to do a Google search for how to save Flash video's (.flv files). It was posted on here a while ago (might have been me), but is quite complicated from memory.

Maybe someone else has a simple method??!!

BitComet can do it, or get mozilla firefox, as it is possible with that aswell.

The easiest way is if you have firefox, one tiny file and all you have to do is single click the video on youtube and it downloads automatically

Just look in C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

They are cached in there.

They will look like this "get_video?video_id=M0ONe2Leoq4" The characters after the = is the video ie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ONe2Leoq4

Just copy the file and rename to something.flv

For playing the video you can use Riva FLV player or converting use Super.

Easy way round that....

The file downloads as a .flv file (flash player file) so all you need to do to get it to play in WMP is rename the file to .mp3 - yes mp3. Plays fine, shows video perfectly (least it does on my PC cos I just did it)
