Download Youtube Videos Using *Mozilla Firefox*
Ever wanted to download a Youtube video but didn’t know how, well read this?
First you must be using Mozilla Firefox. I am sure most of you use Firefox but here is the download link for those who don’t:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Install the extension Video Downloader 2.0 from Here.
Once you have installed it, restart Firefox to complete the installation. Now you should see a little icon on the bottom right of your browser.
Go to the Youtube video that you would like to download. Click this little button and a popup should come up.
Right click the ’Download Link’ button and hit ’Save Link As’
The save as screen should come up. The File Name will say ’get_video’ **Make sure you put .flv at the end to save it as a FLV file’
The video should save to your desktop or wherever you saved it to.
Since it is an FLV file, which isn’t very common, you can download a video Converter program to change it to a different format. I use Total Video Converter which I provided a d/l link for:
Install it, then just place the patch in the Total Video Converter’s file and patch it. Then use the keygen to get a code to register the program. Done!

Everytime I try to download a file off of YouTube, it saves it as get_video.flv.htm, and since it’s technically an .htm, TVC can’t do anything with it.

What am I doing wrong?
That happens a few times with certain videos. Most won’t do that but a few will.
