If you use firefox, get the following extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/

It'll do the job nicely (works for almost all embedded video's, not just youtube).

No probs.

You'll need the FLV Player to play the .flv files off youtube:

Yeah I noticed they were flv files so I got a converter that changes them to any other file format which is handy.

Thats probably it alright, yeah. Those extensions only work with more recent versions.

I'm at 1.5.0.3 and it works.

For IE, play the whole video then open up your temporary internet files (C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files) - find the (normally largest) file with a weird file name such as tfdbhxdcfb.flv and copy somewhere.
