Who is still unaware about downloading youtube videos, is someone who doesn’t know what is cool on the web, but what is true is that for many of my friends everything surrounding computers seems like magic and I think anyone reading this can feel the same too, that’s why I’m writing (and I’m translating) a step by step guide “for dummies”.
Step 1.- Look for the Youtube Video you are interested on (it also applies for any site you may use such as Metacafe, Google Videos and any other).
Step 2.- Choose any from the thousand sites that allow you to download from youtube: www.youtubex.com, keepvid.com, javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php (from a Spanish guy 
, www.youtubia.com, www.vidgrab.com or my favourite: vixy.net.
Step 3.- Open the desired website and enter the link to the video you selected on Step 1.
Step 4 (Optional) In case you chose vixy.net or any other supporting many output formats, choose the one that you prefer the most.
Step 5.- Select Enter, Accept, click the button… In brief: Send the data and wait a little until the download starts.
In general all those webs download the file in a “.flv” format which is Flash proprietary, and which means that not all Video players will allow you to play it (Our beloved VideoLan won’t have any problem).
For example, vixy.net allows you to download the video in divx+mp3 which reducing the final size and avoiding problems when playing it. In the other hand it takes a while to transform the videos, which can force us to go back to Step 3.
I hope it all clarified the whole process.
By the way, for those Firefox freaks fans, you have dozen extensions that shorten the process, also available for download from Firefox Add-ons.
