Due to the rising popularity of YouTube videos (and because a reader asked me about this), I think I need to mention KeepVid.com again. It's a web page that allows you to download videos from sites that only offer streaming (like YouTube, Google Video, iFilm, and others).

All you do is copy the link of the page with the video on it and paste it in the box on the left. Then select which streaming video page you got it from, using the drop-down menu on the right.

Click the "Download" button, and you'll be given a "Download Link" to click.

Click that, and there ya go. Now you've got the video on your hard drive.

One caveat. Sometimes you'll get multiple format options, sometimes only one - usually FLV (flash video format). You can get a free FLV player here, if you need one. Only about a 1 meg download. Link to the FLV player can also be found at Keepvid.com.
