can you download a video from Youtube?

[black bunny]

Is it possible to download a video from the Youtube site onto a mobile phone (a Sony Eriksson K750I)? Can you explain it in very straightforward terms - thanks!

nope I'm 99 percent sure you can't, but if you have a flat screen monitor then you can probably record it onto your phone.

Not directly, but you can get them onto your phone via your PC. Google 'download youtube' and you'll get a number of sites that allow you to patse in the URL of the video in question into the webpage and at the click of a button it will ask you where you'd like to save the video! Once it's on your pc, you'll have to convert it to the video format that your phones uses. There are plenty of those converters available on the web.

Download by pasting the youtube address in here
http://keepvid.com/

and then convert the flv file (you might need to rename it as <filename>.flv ) using this
http://media-convert.com/convert/

Just as well loukr allowed that 1% :-)

I use Ant Video Downloader to download from youtube.
Download and install Ant Video Downloader at http://ant.com/video-downloader/ in internet explorer or firefox.
Go to the page where the video is playing. Click the Download Button when video is buffering. Close the page or search another video.
When the download completes click the Player Button to play the video.
You will need a converter for you to play it in other players. The video you have download with ant toolbar works with any video converter.
It is totally free and contains no adware or spyware at all.
