Grab YouTube Videos to Watch on Your Computer or Burn to DVD

Last week I wrote how to take videos from YouTube and add them to your music library (http://geekyclown.com/?p=46).  I forgot to mention that you can also take the videos and add them to a DVD or put them on your machine to watch later.  Here is a quick way to do this:

1.) Find the video you want from YouTube.

2.) Copy (control-C) the URL of the video.

3.) Go to www.keepvid.com and paste the URL at the top. 

4.) Download the video as a Flash Video (either high or low quality is up to you, your bandwidth, and your machine).

5.) Download Prism Video Converter from http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html.

6.) Load your Flash video into Prism Video Converter and convert it into a format that you can use.  .WMV if you want to play it on your machine or .AVI if you want to burn a DVD.

Simple.
