Requirements:
Chrome or Firefox (PC or Mac)

Choose which video format you want – MP4, AAC, Flash. If in doubt, choose MP4.
Option 2: Use a Website
This works regardless of what browser or OS you use.

This will take you the saveyoutube.com website. Click “run” or “allow” to let the Java applet to do its magic.
Step 3
Choose your format and wait for the download to finish.

Love the Mickey Mouse shirt! Did you have to pay royalties to Disney?
) Oh, and great tip! I’ve been using RealPlayer’s feature that pops up a “Download this video” button whenever I watch a YouTube video. Didn’t know about the “saveyoutube” site. Sounds pretty cool!
Isn’t this against the YouTube TOS? I mean, not that that stops anybody
Definitely against YouTube TOS. This shouldn’t be advertised as a tip.
For OS X I use Evom
Hi Cali, I downloaded the youtube downloader extension and now I can’t see or view any you tube videos. I know it not your fault but it is upsetting. I even removed the extension from firefox with no luck. Now what?

Hmm… that’s odd. What’s in the place of the video? White space?
Yes that’s correct only white space. When you click on a video it refuses to run. Sorry for the problems. Guess I just use Safari no problem.
