How to download video off of YouTube

Some of you have asked how to download a video off of YouTube. I found a website called vixy.net which works when the server isn't that busy but they have created a beta downloader that works pretty good that you can download for free. It has some bugs but it downloads and converts video to mp4 format which works for your iPod or PSP just fine. Now it doesn't work for Google Video but many of the videos can be downloaded right from the site.

Too bad you didn't have an iPod Touch - you could save yourself the hassle of download/convert and just click on the YouTube icon.

I've found keepvid.com works better than pixy or any other site I've found yet...

Does this mean that if I install iTunes on my desktop then I can convert and save my fav YouTube vids and view them on my PC?

Of course the iPod Touch solution doesn't work if you don't have a wifi connection

Take YouTube Videos with you

YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.

YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.

Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.
