right click on it and select 'Save Target As..', and then just pick where you want to save it, usually works for me!

You can't do that with a flash video.

This works well for saving videos.
You can extract the sound out of videos as well and save them as Mp3.

Can't get it to work, 'error' comes up when I select a video. The other way (via firefox) is no good either, I can't get 'Save Target As' when I right-click, any ideas?

This is a great solution to capturing youtube videos without downloading any additional software etc.

Go to http://vixy.net/ and enter the URL of the youtube video in and choose which format you want to save it in. Once it's saved, right click the file and download it onto your computer. It's as easy as that!

Unfortunately not. It's this one actually http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLpjrHzgSRM . The quality's not great though.
