I went over to YouTube to download some stuff onto my PC, but apparently you can't do that anymore. How do I download them? I know there are some toold out there. Any recommendations?

it's kind of a pain to download them

i've done it in the past, but they just come down as FLV files with most tools

i'm not sure what to do with those afterwards

Laughing Me either! The only tool I could find put them in FLV format, too, and nowhere on the site did it tell me where to get a viewer for the files. I had no idea how I was supposed to play them back or anything. Plus, if I wanted to put them up on, say my MySpace page, how the heck are people supposed to view them?

Why do you feel you need to download them?  Aren't you *always on*?  Cool

embedding the videos is the recommended way to spread them - that should cover most use cases (including MySpace? not sure if YouTube is still blocked from there)

ROFL

You have a pretty good point there. But what if the planet experiences a catastrophic event, wiping out electronic communications, and I need to be entertained? I'm a Boy Scout; I must always be prepared!

Some of the things I do with the videos is download them, convert to AVI and then I can edit in Windows easily.

See what I mean by this commercial, that was entered in the win a free slingbox contest.

The first part is from youtube, the second from commercials available on the sling media site.
