Geek Babble: Download and Save Video from YouTube

For the majority of people not using Firefox, YouTube Downloader works quite well. There is also a program for Mac users with a similar name. YouTube Downloader uses the URL from video on many streaming sites in order to download files directly to your hard drive.

YouTube Downloader can even save video from places like Veoh.

It's just a good as having the ability to right-click to save, just don't use the built-in video converter.

+ Nice alternative for users not running Firefox
+ Can be used with other streaming sites besides YouTube
- The built-in video converter doesn’t always work
- Doesn’t work on every streaming site
