Seems a long way round to me, why don't you just download the video directly?

Please tell me that you're not trying to use your laptop webcam to record a video you're playing on said laptop...

Why not download Real Player Basic as that will let you record Youtube Video's and also, as I do it myself record live Streaming of radio and video from the internet.

There's tons of software out there to download and save youtube vids. I use Firefox with the DownloadHelper plugin but if you prefer other browsers you may have to find something different.

That is why to be honest I said about Real Player Basic as it's not browser dependant :)

I have used it for recording steaming audio since they started doing it, as before that I used Ripcast and I didn't download video's of Youtube, but now if I need a video from there I just use Real Player and it comes down perfectly fine.

I have the Add On stuff aswell on my browser though incase Real Player doesn't like something.

DVDvideosoft youtube-ipod converter always worked fine for me. Standalone app, not a plugin.

Vdownloader is the best if found, and it by default downloads the best quailty it can.

Sorry I didn't make myself very clear with this (was at work on a break whilst posting).

I wanted to help my stepson record a podcast for his school homework.

You can just record video podcasts directly from the YouTube site I have since found out.

In the end though he decided he just wanted audio so we disk audacity then mp3 to google docs.

Cheers.
