A bit off topic: How to download videos?

Putting aside copyright issues, how does one, technically, download videos from YouTube and news sites and such?

Thanks. :)

1. If you use Firefox
you can get the extension "Downloadhelper" that makes it very easy. There are other programs/extensions also but I find that one very easy.

2. Awesome....

I do use Firefox but I really haven't used extensions yet, and many believe that is what makes Firefox so great.

Thanks. I will search for that and no doubt find other extension that are helpful, too.

:hi:

3. another vote for download helper
I started using it years ago when I got frustrated that YouTube would sometimes remove videos I wanted to watch again.

6. Wow!

That is just so cool! :bounce:

As a non-techie, I find all these new, open source tools, extensions, plugins, etc. so much fun.

Thanks for sharing. :hi:
