0	If you just want to download the youtube video in flv, there is an extension on Firefox to get the flv video http://www.downloadhelper.net/. Or there are sites to help you download and , if you want, convert the video for you. answered Feb 05 '11 at 22:38 kevin ♦♦ 34.8k●152●301●570

"The Chrome Gallery Developer Agreement prevents the saving of streaming media"

Definitely MPEG Streamclip. It can download youtube videos and export them into almost any format, including just exporting the audio of a video. And It doesn't just do youtube videos, but also video and audio files from your drive.

uhhhhh....MPEG Streamclip does not open the flv files downloaded from Youtube and When you put a Youtube link in the inport from URL, it downloads other things

Oh I didn't know about the flv thing, I guess I've never tried it with an flv yt video. Are you saying it downloads other things when you enter any youtube URL, or just for flv files? Because if you mean any yt video then something's up cause it works for me.

Thanks Guys, really id like to get a Software since some Websites that do this in future won't work, I used Dirpy and was pretty cool, but since they closed it I just don't want to depend on a Website, I think someone putted as an answer MPEG Streamclip and so far so good :)
