There's a video I want to take off Youtube to put in a presentation I'm doing.  Does anyone know how to go about it?  Cheers!

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

theres loads of ways. i use a extenstion on firefox.  Type in download video on you tube search for videos.  you will get plenty of clips on how to download.

You can't do that with a flash video.

The Firefox addon did the job perfect!  Thanks for the help!!

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!

that youtuberobot is good. The board is great for handy tips like this.

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