Downloading With Safari For Windows

Does anyone have a simple way of downloading videos from Youtube using Safari for Windows please?

I have seen various "solutions" but cannot get them to work.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.TIA.

Hi Scrubbs, thanks for that. I think it actually refers to the Apple Mac but I'll give it a try.

I know it doesn't really apply but, if you used firefox and download helper? maybe just for your "you tube" downloads??

Thanks for that however but I do have the latest version but just do not know the procedure for activating a download.

In Internet Explorer I have the Real Player plugin and in Firefox I use download helper but in Safari For Windows I just don't know how to get things started.

I have tried double-clicking the largest file in the activity window but all I get is a black window with sound and nothing appears in the downloads window.

Have you tried it with another browser.

My other browsers download fine but at present I can't download in Safari For Windows and Opera even though I am supposed to be able to.

I could just download from my other browsers which indeed I do it's just that I'd like SFW and Opera working the way they are supposed to.

As I said mine works fine so it may be related to a firewall on the machine.
