Re: how can one save a video from youtube?
ok here's how it goes... it might
seem long, but alot of these settings are 'one off' and after u do it first time it only takes seconds to do it....
firstly, download this, it lets you play the files on ur comp...

then go to youtube, and watch the video u wanna copy 2ur computer... (make sure u
let it load completely so it can be fully saved on to ur comp).
[btw the above two steps are just 2make it easier 4 u... once u do this successfully ill tell u the bits u dont need2do in future]
first of all...
make sure you can view hidden files, to do that:
1. Go to Control Panel, Folder Options , 'View' tab,
make sure you tick 'show hidden fiels and foldesr' and untick 'hide protected operating system files' .
2. Go to
My Computer ,
C Drive,
Documents and Settings.
Click the folder that has the name of your computer username that u login with (in zAks case zakiyyah for xample :X...) ..Then...
3. Go to
Local Settings ,
Temporary Internet Files (aha!)
4. Click on search (or press F3) and search for
*.flv
it will reveal all the youtube videos... drag it on to your desktop.. and open it, should work
-----
my advise is.. make a shortcut to 'temp internet files' on your desktop so u dont hav to go thru all these instructions 2 get there..... coz half the instruction is how 2 get to it
the bits in quotes are one off things, once u done them u dont need 2 them again in future.
its real ezy, lemme knwo if u got ne probz with it... trust me tis nto hard inshalah.
