Hi people here are some of the ways I found out to download videos from youtube and other sites with embedded videos

First I would like to mention some online video downloaders and converters

1. Converttube.com It’s an online flash video downloader and converter .You can either download the flash videos directly to your hard drive or can convert the videos online, before downloading, into various formats like mpg,mp4,mov,3gp or if you want just the audio only ,to mp3 format, and just download it into your harddrive to use on your mobile ,ipod or mp3 stick.
2. insanetube.info Another online flash video downloader which can also download videos from many other sites including youtube like Google,Myspace,Bolt,ifilm,Dailymotion,Blip.tv,Break.com.It hasn’t got an online converter and you have to use a separate software for converting the downloaded video files .
3. youtubedownload.altervista.org It’s a free software which you can download from the link I have mentioned.Earlier it used to support a limited number of sites but now it supports downloading from over 50 sites and the list is bound to increase.You can not only download the videos ,but can convert the downloaded video files for your ipod,iphone,PSP,windows media,XVid,cell phone and mp3.
   There are many other softwares like youtube grabber ,downtube etc .But among the softwares which I have tried I found this to be useful and I recommend you start with this and may try some other softwares later
4. downloadhelper.net This one is for firefox lovers as it is an awesome firefox extension .Among all the ones I have mentioned above this one is the best according to me.It supports downloading of embedded videos from about 200 sites and the list is still improving.You can not only download videos but also embedded audio and also images from a gallery on a webpage .I can’t fully explain the features as it will make this a very lengthy post and I believe it usually upsets the visitor to your site unless it contains some extraordinary ground breaking content.You just check their manual and it has been clearly explained with images and all.It will hardly take 10-15 minutes and you will be up and running.
