How can you download a youtube video and then play that flv file on your desktop?
I’ve been wondering how to do this, because I sometimes find compelling videos where I wonder whether they will be available in the future. Here’s one answer. [1] It’s a site by “applian technologies” (not affiliated with youtube) that advises you to insert “pwn” after “www.” and before “youtube . . . ” It’s all free and it does give you an option to NOT download applian’s propriety browser toolbar. The site also offers a stand-alone .flv player for youtube videos that you download. I tried the downloader and the player and they both worked perfectly.
These might come in handy someday soon.
