This article is not something new. You can find loads of information regarding this topic on how to download videos off Youtube, Google, Grinvi, DailyMotion and others… Well, you know me, I don’t simply post out any softwares that can do that but I post out the BEST ones on the internet.
There are 3 ways to download videos.
1. Software
2. Website
3. Plugin for Firefox browser
The first method is by using software. Usually these softwares are simple to use and it’s very small in size. One thing I don’t really like about most of the softwares that can download videos are it saves the file in .FLV format. There is no default player in your Windows that can play FLV files. You need to download FLV player in order to watch the downloaded video. In case you need to send it to your friend who knows nothing about computer, you need to use a converter to convert .FLV to .AVI or .MPG. That’s doing double job and wasting your time!
I found a free software called VDownloader that is able to download videos from Youtube, Google, Grinvi and DailyMotion. The difference between this freeware and the rest is that it can save in .AVI, .MPEG and also .PSP! So you don’t need to download and install FLV player and converter.

Easy to use. Just copy the URL from Youtube or other video sites, paste it to the program and click the download button. Once finished downloading, wait for a few seconds for it to convert to the video format that you select from the preferences.

Only 1 thing I don’t like about this software is it doesn’t support a wide range of video sites.

Second method don’t need to use any third party software to download videos. Simply use your favorite web browser, go to VideoDownloader website and enter the video URL.

This website will save your video as .FLV format. So you’ll need FLV player to watch the downloaded videos from Youtube and etc… Good thing about VideoDownloader is it supports a LOT of video sites. 57 of them! Angry Alien, Blennus, Blip.tv, Break.com, Dailymotion, Double Agent, eVideoShare, Free Video Blog, Google Video, Grinvi, iFilm, Keiichi Anime Forever, Metacafe, MySpace, MySpace Video Code, Putfile, Totally Crap, vidiLife, vSocial, AnimeEpisodes.Net, Badjojo, Blastro, Bofunk, Bolt, Castpost, CollegeHumor, Current TV, Dachix, Danerd, DailySixer.com, DevilDucky, Double Agent, EVTV1, FindVideos, Hiphopdeal, Kontraband, Lulu TV, Midis.biz, Music.com, MusicVideoCodes.info, Newgrounds, NothingToxic, PcPlanets, Pixparty, PlsThx, Revver, Sharkle, SmitHappens, StreetFire, That Video Site, VideoCodes4U, VideoCodesWorld, VideoCodeZone, Vimeo, Yikers YouTube and ZippyVideos.

Third and last method is installing a plugin on your Firefox browser. After installing the plugin, you’ll see a small icon on the bottom right of the Firefox browser. Click here to see the plugin in action. This plugin is created by the same person who created VideoDownloader website.
Tip: To watch the videos in .FLV format, you’ll need FLV Player. It’s FREE!

There’s another easy site too, it has a free FLV player download and support for most sites.
keepvid.com
Nice guide! :) But, in my opinion, it can be done much much easier.
The only thing you need to do is to go to keepvid.com and then insert the URL of the video clip inside the text field, in order to get a download link. Once you have downloaded the flv or whatever file name it includes, you can convert it to a file name of your choice by using a video converter. Personally, I use “SUPER” by eRightSoft because it is totally free and has a superior support for all kinds of video formats, not only streamed content but virtually any type of video format that you can imagine. No ads, nothing. It’s really reliable too.
Dainius: You could try Super, it is freeware but perhaps not the easiet to use but it does covert just about any format to any other formet including from/to flv. It is also totally self contained not needing any extra codecs installed.
