How to download videos from YouTube?

Here is a question I received: “Is it possible to download a video from YouTube so that I can use it during a presentation?”
First make sure it is legal for you to use the video in your presentation.
Second, there is a great application on the Macs that grabs a video from YouTubeand other video sites and converts it into a Quicktime file. The program is called PodTube. It was free but it is now is an expensive $5. You can demo PodTube for up to 5 movies before you have to purchase it. If you are a FireFox user sorry it will only work with Safari. Yet Podtube could also download videos from Daily Motion and MySpace Videos.
That is the easy way to download videos. I’ll post later on a more nerdy way to download videos from websites.
