Hi geeks,
How can I download a youtube video to my hard drive so that I can play it without "eating" bandwidth. I've got a few pennies in my piggy bank for the guy who helps me out.
YouTube Downloader works for me. It can also convert the flv files to a few other formats once downloaded. After you install version 2.1.6, don't forget to install the update to that version.

Oh yeah, one nice touch is that it comes with a flv file viewer, so you don't really have to convert the flv file unless you want to see it in another format.

Thanks guys, I can get the video and then rename them to mp3 by the converter. They should make a universal media player to play all formats.

In any case Orbit downloads youtube stuff very easily.
There are many other free programs that also do it but this is one of the best.
