Nvm i got it!

aTube Catcher works beautifully. Just download and input the URL and format.

I just copy and past the URL onto facebook.

http://keepvid.com/

Orbit Downloader will save a variety of embedded content

So does aTube Catcher work well?

generally there’re two ways for ya: online app, such as keepvid (http://www.keepvid.com/), or desktop app w/ better management, such as youtube downloader (http://www.video-download-capture.com/).

just enjoy the way you like. :=)

If you want to grab / download / save youtube videos to your computer you can use www.tubeminator.com.

It tends to be the best free online youtube video downloader I know. You can save the videos in the following formats: .avi, .mpg, .mp4, .3gp, .mov, .wmv, .flv – for video files and .wav, .mp3, .mp2, .ogg – for audio files.

Many websites like YouTube use a Flash Video format that enables highly-compressed streaming video to effectively play in most browsers. but this streaming format is very inconvenient to download. Just found this method in yahoo answer. Hope it’s also helpful to you.
Search “record streaming video” on google.com for the software.
I just found this: Streaming Video Recorder, it is as easy as

1. Press “Record”
Click in the page where the video is playing. The downloader will automatically save it to your hard disk.
2. convert the video to any video format you like.
3. you have youtube videos on you computer.

I use Ant Video Downloader to download from Youtube.
Download and install Ant Video Downloader at http://ant.com/video-downloader/
Go to the page where the video is playing. Click the Download Button when video is buffering.
When the download completes click the Player Button to play the video.
You will need a converter for you to play it in other players. The video you have download with ant toolbar works with any video converter.
It is totally free and contains no adware or spyware at all.
