Download Helper extension for Firefox works well. It also will convert from flv to other formats automatically if you set it up right.

Re: YouTube Video download

I found this somewhere on the web, works a treat.  Just create a new bookmark and copy the below as the location.  Then when you are on Youtube looking at a vid you want to save just click the bookmark.

javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt='+(isHDAvailable?'22':'18')+'&video_id='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']}

NetVideoHunter (works across many Flash video stream sources besides YouTube) or Greasemoney and YouTube HD Ultimate.

By the way this is my wife and son in Peru.

Re: YouTube Video download

I'm personally fond of the flashgot extension. Integrates firefox into a download manager of your choice and picks up file downloads for lots of sites other than youtube.

Re: YouTube Video download

I personally just enter the youtube page with the video, watch it normally and then copy it from /tmp (where firefox saves it while the page is open)
