Tutorial for getting videos of youtube (note: you will need a *.FLV converter, which can easily be found)
Ok, first things first, find your video on youtube, found it? ok, good, if you have a look on the page with the video on it, there will be a little tab that says "About this Video", click on that and a little menu type thing will drop down, down near the bottom there will be a URL box below the text "URL", in that box, you want to select all of the text, so for example in my box was this
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPBmXEO3yUU"
Copied it? (ctrl + v), ok good, next thing to do is open notepad, and copy the URL link into it, just in case you accidently copy something else, ok, so the URL is copied into a notepad document, for the next step, you will have to visit this web address:
http://www.keepvid.com
ok, youve opened this web address, when the page has finished loading, there will be a neat light green colored box near the top of the page with a text box inside the green box for entering text (xD), what you want to do is copy the URL into the text box, then hit the download butten beside the text box, when the page loads, you will get 2 options, you can download:
1. either the *.FLV file (this one will need to be converted)
2. or a *.MP4 (to watch the *.mp4, you will need to find a player that supports this format.
now, if you chose the *.FLV, you will need to convert it, you can find *.FLV converters on the internet.
or, if you chose the *.mp4, just find a media player that supports *.mp4 format and your ready to go
