I happened to find this way on google. And hope to share with you.
Please reply me if you have any other ways.
The software I'm using is called flv downloader. It is a freeware.
Install and start the downloader.
You needn't get the url when downloading the vid.

Press "start recording".
Click in the page where the vid is playing.
The downloader will automatically save it to your hard drive.

Then you can watch it with the embeded flv player.

Happy sharing with you. Don't foget to reply your way.
You can search "flv downloader" on google.com for more info.

A quick, practical update to the suggestions from this thread (for example ’s FLV recorder, ’s KeepVid tip, ’s IE ripper and ’s Firefox add‑ons): those approaches came from the Flash/FLV era and the ecosystem has changed significantly. YouTube moved away from Flash/FLV toward HTML5/adaptive streaming, so many old FLV‑capture tricks stopped working reliably as players and streaming formats changed. (ghacks.net)

The safe, official route is to use YouTube’s built‑in offline features where available — for many users that means YouTube’s in‑app download functionality (commonly via YouTube Premium) and subject to the service’s rules and limits. The YouTube Terms explicitly restrict downloading content except where YouTube provides a download link or feature. If permanent local files are required, get permission from the rights holder first. (youtube.com)

For power users who need archiving or are working with their own/cleared content, actively maintained command‑line tools (the yt‑dl forks such as yt‑dlp) remain the most robust technical option — but they sit in a gray space legally and ethically unless you have the uploader’s permission or the content is licensed for reuse. Many once‑popular web services have shut or changed (KeepVid discontinued its downloader service) and browser add‑ons can be hit‑or‑miss, freemium, or require companion apps. (github.com)

Practical safety tips: download tools from their official project pages (GitHub or vendor site), use custom/advanced install to opt out of bundled offers, scan installers on VirusTotal before running them, and beware of bundlers (InstallCore and similar installers have been flagged as PUPs). If you only need offline viewing, prefer the official app features — they avoid the security and legal risks of third‑party downloaders. (malwarebytes.com)

I know this thread abit old but it aint a year old, but feel what i have to put in is too small to open a new thread, hope the mods dont mind.

If your using firefox web browser its easy to download videos from sites like youtube by downloading certain add-ons like:

1.) Unplug - the best i think, problem is its not updated to work for FF3 just on FF2.

2.) Fast Video Download 1.6.1

3.) Download Embedded 0.5

4.) Video DownloadHelper 3.2.2

And you can also use a program called anyvideoconverter - which you can use to download then convert the file to a choice of several other video formats including .avi's(you need to be logged in a youtube account to do this), go check the website at http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/ theres a freeware version and several other commercial offerings of which ofcourse you have more choice in video formats to convert in.

Ofcourse downloading videos from sites like youtube are a helluva easier with GNU/Linux than Microsoft windows OS'es.
