http://keepvid.com/ will do same without having to download anything. Paste URL of clip, select host site from drop-down list (in this case youtube), and save as flv clip

kenky is partially correct. keepvid.com is by far the best way but you STILL have to download a FLV player, which can be downloaded from the keepvid.com website.

thanks everyone. I am able to successfully get an flv file. Don't suppose anyone knowse how to get hold of a freebie convertor? the "Replay Converter" software advertised, successfully converts to MPEG/AVI but is eval and only converts the first 90 seconds. I know i sound cheap (don't answer! :-) but $30 dollars seems a bit steep just to convert a file

Ha ha after 5 years of knowing this website i can't believe they've still not got it right. I can rate my own answer it would seem
