to save files from You-tube..

hmm...i was trying to save files from You-tube for some time...finally i found a way which by the way involved quite an amount of browsing....its as follows..

1. open the file in you-tube.
2. select the URL and then paste into the following site
http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php
(just paste the URL in the textbox given)
3. Make sure u save the file as .flv extension.
4. To play these files, u need a seperate player called FLV Player which u can download from
http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10467081.html
5. just drag and drop the file into the player and walla ..u can njoy the videos...

u can also use converters to convert .flv to .avi or .wmv but i guess the clarity will be reduced..

P.S: if u have any other way of saving the files please lemme know...

cheers...
