I often am asked how to download You Tube videos to a file for storage on a PC. Also choosing which format to save it in varies from person to person based on what they want to do with it.
http://www.grab-tube.com/converter is a free site and service that automates this process.
-- When you load up the page, you will see the green header with box to type in the URL. The URL is the exact page of the You Tube video. Often, on the Video page it will have this link labeled just under the user channel. Just copy this and paste into grab-tube URL box.
-- After a minute or so it will load a preview page and a download link to save to your PC. It will be in .flv format but the next step will convert to any format. Just remember what folder you saved it to on your PC. FLV are flash videos for adobe flash player. Some people may find this is all they need. \
Next step is optional.
-- Once downloaded, go back to grab-tube homepage. Under the green header is a media choice ( browse from your PC) and format to convert to. You can do mp3, mp4, 3gp ( most cell phones), AVi ( good for most PC’s and laptops), flv, and MPG. It will upload and convert the file to any of those formats. This process can take a few minutes to ten or fifteen minutes depending on factors. It will then give you a final download link. Save and then copy to mobile phone or other PC’s.
Super simple!
