Yes and you'll be surprise to know that it's not going to take a degree in Computer Engineering to do it. YouTube is the most popular video hosting site out there even though there are countless sites that ever existed.
The nice thing about YouTube is it's like the "Video Universe". Whatever video or topics you want to find out, YouTube probably have it.
And you have probably watched some great videos that wowed you and making you wonder if there's a way for you save streaming video from YouTube.
And maybe you're asking why would you be interested to download video from YouTube. You probably would like to save it and then show it to your friends since that particular video just really caught your attention. After saving it in your computer, you could then upload it to your ipod or even your kid's PSP (even though adults have been known to play PSP as well).
Another great reason to save streaming video from YouTube if you're an internet marketer is to embed it in your own website. Yes, you just embed it also to post it on your blog or website. But if you download it, you could do your own editing of the video and probably add some your own or additional useful information. (Note: Make sure that you pay attention to copyrights rules.)
The proceeding video on "How to Save Streaming Video From YouTube" is a step by step tutorial in accomplishing this process. Take note that with the VideoDownloader mentioned will allow you to save videos not only from YouTube/Google but also to most other video hosting sites.
The URL to for this Video Downloader is:

On the other hand, the VideoDownloader program also have some shortfall. The best thing about is it's free but after using this software, I found out that the site for downloading video is busy most of the time. Darnit, I want my YouTube video now! But you're at the complete mercy of the site's availability.
I also found out that the downloaded video file is converted to flash format. Flash format is ok, but sometimes I would like to edit the video and do my own thing with it. Now, I have to get hold of flash converter program. It worked out later on after some stumbling around here and there but it's almost like a trial and error.
This time there's another program that I really liked and it's dedicated to save YouTube videos only.
The great feature of this program is it gives you the flexibility to choose the formats of saved YouTube videos. You save it in FLV, AVI or MPEG. Lots of room to choose whatever is convenient for you to edit.
This program is called "YouTube Downloader". It's a very simple program and very easy to install so you don't have to worry of having busy network problems which is a big problem for Video Downloader.
YouTube Downloader is simple as 1-2-3 process.
- First, activate the YouTube Downloader

- Copy the url of the specific YouTube video
- Paste it on YouTube Downloader box
