If you have the video loaded on the youtube page in Safari, open up the
activity monitor with option-apple-a. That is the list of all the pieces
that make up the page in a table. If you hunt through there there should
be one very large item (size is the second column) which is the video
file itself. For example, here is one:
http://v17.lscache8.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Coc%3AU0dWTlNNVl9FSkNNNl9LR1pF&fexp=907027&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=35&ipbits=0&burst=40&sver=3&expire=1279328400&key=yt1&signature=C635179F80C22DA2B15C5E1E3C46184E36A5DAFE.B1C972DD07DA59410E03086FE7CD1CB30C5C3392&factor=1.25&id=964e7f392b1ac33e
It was 21.8MB while everything else was 100KB or less. Copy that URL, go
to the download manager, command-option-l, then paste the URL. It should
now download the video file to your desktop.
I noticed that not all video files are mp4, but most seems to be. While
I was hunting around I also found this site which seems to do all this
and make an mp3 file much easier:
http://www.gazzump.com/
You paste in the youtube url, such as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4
and click the download button. On the next page find the Choose a Format
popup and select MP3 then VO right to the Convert button. After that you
have to wait while they download and convert the file. After that you
should find a "Click here to download YouTube- 'Star Wars (John Williams
Is The Man)' medley - Corey Vidal and Moosebutter - a cappella tribute"
or whatever video you did link. Clicking that should drop an mp3 on your
desktop.

Hi,
Well, there is something called Tooble <http://www.tooble.tv> which
will allow you to download YouTube videos. Unfortunately, when you
preview the application seems prone to crashing quite frequently, and
the developer is not responding or fixing this issue even though it is
being continuously updated. Also, the button called "Audio only" does
not only make it into audio, but still downloads the video as well as
makes an audio file. THis applies to either button, whether it is
"Download" or "Audio only". Unfortunately, for some weird reason, it
uses .wav format but, if you can deal with that, you can just convert.
To download, however, you will need to purchase Tooble Pro which is $5
I believe. That is the only one I was able to find, and I'm actually
pretty happy with it as it allows you to download videos, search, and
brows your subscriptions on your YouTube account. Despite its
shortcomings, it works nicely when it wants to.
Regards,
Nic
