I have discovered a site that takes all the guesswork out of downloading videos from the most popular providers around the web. Most importantly, it's completely free and so easy to use. Simply go here:
http://keepvid.com/lite/
Then pick the service you are downloading from and copy/paste the URL in the blanks and the file becomes easily downloadable! Once you've downloaded the videos, I highly recommend you install the K-LITE MEGA CODEC PACK to play some of the strange formats you will find. It's also free and located here:
