I'm making a Gravel video for the 50-20 video contest, and I need to know how to download a video off of Youtube.  Does anyone know?

Yes, I just figured it out yesterday.

 

First, you have to find a website that will let you put in the youtube URL and download the video: http://www.techcrunch.com/get-youtube-movie/  (I havent tried this one, just found it).

Then you have to get a converter to convert the file from .flv to .avi.  That was fairly easy to find.  The first one I located didn't work, but I didn't bother troubleshooting it.  I just found a different one.

 

Its a pretty simple, quick, painless process.  I'd watch for spyware infections and that kind of thing though =/

Thanks!
