Just use DownloadHelper addon for Firefox - if the video is not already in mp4, downloadhelper can convert it for you.

I'd recommend MPC-HC over VLC, it's much more lightweight :)

1358203 2013-10-30 20:33:00 Most addons to get Youtube vids dont work now, because they've changed something. It's easier going to keepvid and dragging the icon there to the taskbar. This will do most of the work for you. It'll even let you download whatever as MP4. And yup MP3 is only audio not video. You can also use freemake video converter to convert whatever. Just make sure you untick the crap. Otherwise, it'll install before it installs the main program Speedy Gonzales (78)
1358204 2013-10-30 23:29:00 I use "YTD Video Downloader" to download stuff from YouTube. Just be careful not to install all the default crap that comes with it.. paulw (1826)

Downloadhelper is regularly updated and still works fine for most YT videos - it doesn't cope with the Vevo ones though.

Another option, if you have Greasemonkey installed, is use the SaveTube script. It's regularly updated and works great on YT :)
