Download vids from YouTube

I know there is a way to do it but I've never tried. I need this vid for the 911 powerpoint my JROTC is doing if anyone can tell me how to do it I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Basically you plug in the video link into the program and it downloads the FLV video file. From there you can convert it to a buncha different file formats for video editing purposes and also to MP3.

Only minor issue that I have encountered when converting to WMV is that editing the video in Sony Vegas gets a bit troublesome as it likes to lag a lot. It's possibly due to the fact that it may encode differently, but since it's free I think it's a highly recommended download (and it works like a beast, too.)

EDIT: I did a conversion in Quicktime MOV format, that works the best in Vegas. Don't use XviD or WMV for this program if you plan on editing the footage.
