let's get it started.
there are many methods, but here is mine.I reckon this trick will work on every thing bcoz it plays with HTML codes and doesn?t require any other thing to do this!

1.Go to YouTube.com and find a clip you like. Every video page on YouTube has a little EMBED box that allows you copy code and post YouTube video clips on your website. We are going to take advanage of this.

2.Copy the code and paste it into a text edit program like Notepad. The code will look something like this:

Code:
<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-
oNQXLNMh0c"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed
src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-oNQXLNMh0c"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></
object>

3. You are looking for the URL of the video file. In the example above that would be: http://www.youtube.com/v/-oNQXLNMh0c. Copy this URL and paste it into a new web browser window and press the Enter key on your keyboard.

4.The YouTube clip should load your web browser as a full screen clip. Press play and wait for the video to load.

5.Now take a closer look at the URL. It's different than what you pasted in there. It's a lot longer right? It should look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_i...0swYCiZMZTzBdb

6.The next step is to change the piece of code that says "p.swf" to "get_video". So the example above should look like this after the change: http://www.youtube.com/get_video?vid...0swYCiZMZTzBdb

7.Press return and your video will start to download.

8.Save it to your Desktop



Apart frm IE ,I hope every one will be having Opera and Firefox. Though I do agree opera is somewhat faster than firefox, I think firefox is better in this method.
Do remember to save file with extension ".flv".

I reckon u guys know abt MPLAYER(great player!) which is capable of playing files of any extensions ,apart frm VLC though navigation is possible in neither case. There is a video converter by name ?REPLAY CONVERTER? which will be of great use even for home users apart frm converting .flv to other format

Its up to u to get that one in ur usual way :D

Hope its useful for u,:)

Or you could just paste the Youtube video link into www.keepvid.com and donwload it, Once downloaded you change the file extension to '.flv' and then play it using an FLV player.

I am finding Orbit Downloader amazing as i can save any video on the internet.
 
Thanks, actually Sylvester had refferred to me when i was searching for rm converter :p but then i found out the magnificient capabilities. It's an all in one converter witha cool interface and guess wha, there are more customising options like Watermarking !
