***A short tutorial that will definitely go a long way
YouTube is definitely the most popular video sharing site and I can literally spend my entire day enjoying the videos.
There will be times when you would like to share your favorite videos with your buddies or even save them for your offline viewing.
In this short tutorial we will learn how to download videos from YouTube and use them on our offline players, iPods, iPones, PSPs, your mobile phones or save the audio as an MP3 file.
You will get numerous utility software which will help you download videos, but only a few will be free or will have the video conversion option to be able to use the downloaded videos in your players.
The tutorial starts here:
Action Item 1: Download the YouTube downloader software here and install it on your computer.
Action Item 2: Once you have installed it, open the software on your computer.

Action Item 3: First we will download the video. For this, in the “Enter video URL” field enter the yourtube video url (Eg. http://youtube.com/watch?v=brk62Kwmz0). Then select the “Download video from YouTube” option and click “Ok”. You video download would start now.

Action Item 4: To use the video on different devices we will first need to convert the downloaded video to the appropriate format (By Default the downloaded video would be saved in .flv format).
