Downloading Youtube videos isn’t as hard as you might think, it’s as easy as double clicking a link, given that link may be hard to find. The first step is to open Safari and locate the video you want to download. Then open the Activity window by pressing Option + Command + “A”. Then look through the Status column for the video file. It’s the one that’s a few MB’s as opposed to a few KB’s. Once you have determined which link belongs to the video file, double-click it. A new window will open (it will be blank) and then a download will start for a file called “get_video”. This is an FLV file which can be read by Quicktime with the right plugins installed, but I recommend converting it to a friendlier format ,such as MP4, by using iSquint.
