Computer/tech question

[HeyGuy]

<p>all you have noticed that there are a ton of video sites like youtube. But youtube seems to be the only one that you CANT download or save the videos you see. I know you can favorite them to your youtube account. But what I want to know is how do you actually save a video to your computer? A couple of videos that I liked got deleted or removed and if I was able to download them then I would still have them. Since youtube is teaming up with google they are taking down a lot of copyrighted stuff so even when you favorite them they are gone. I know there has got to be a way to do this, because people make other clips using other youtube clips. Any help would be great. thanks!!!</p>

<p>Don't switch browsers.&nbsp; Get<strong> ITube</strong> all you do is insert the video weblink and it downloads it to the Folder that Itube is installed in, i believe it works for any site that uses that free video player / flash script to show video.</p>
