I use this one, "FreeYouTube Video Downloader" by DVDVideoSoft for bullk downloads:

http://download.dvdvideosoft.com/FreeYouTubeDownload.exe (http://download.dvdvideosoft.com/FreeYouTubeDownload.exe)

It's a bit spammy so go carefully through the installation process - untick any options for installing toolbars or optional software

For the odd one-off download I use www.keepvid.com (http://www.keepvid.com)

Les,

will keep yours in mind. i've tried quite a few and not been impressed (either function or download nasties).

have ended up using the firefox add-on and seems to work a treat. it adds a button on the browser which allows you to pick the picture quality you want.

I use this YTD
http://download.cnet.com/YTD-Video-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10647340.html (http://download.cnet.com/YTD-Video-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10647340.html)
works with vimeo too, lets you pick the quality and downloads fast. Nice thing is it will auto paste the url and you can start many multiple downloads

To save Youtube video's just add PWN between www. and youtube in the link.

i.e

Volvo S40 vs Lamborghini Gallardo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9ZNJlbsjdw#)

I have had bad experiences with Softonic; I would recommend treating the site with some caution.

JDownloader is an alternative. Works for the majority of video sites.

I'm sure that many Softonic downloads are trouble free; unfortunately one of mine was not, and Google recently reported :
Quote
What is the current listing status for softonic.com?

    This site is not currently listed as suspicious.

What happened when Google visited this site?

    Of the 29048 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-12-17, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2012-12-16.

    Malicious software includes 74 trojan(s), 37 exploit(s), 2 worm(s).

So, treat with caution, but do not assume that most or all downloads are dangerous.

For those that like a command line approach to grabbing streaming video...not confined to youtube can download from sites like vimeo etc.

You can download from Vimeo without any grabbing required.  :)
