Dear Kenneth Fuego,

YouTube does not allow users to download video from the site. But here is a solution which will allow you to copy and store YouTube videos. This method does not require any additional software, and will not cost you additional bandwidth.
Â
Steps to Download/Copy YouTube videos to your PC :
Â
Before You can perform the steps, make sure the hidden files are visible in windows.
Â
Step 1: Browse and watch Videos in any Web Browser. In order to copy the video, at first stream the whole video and keep the browser window/tab open.
Â
Step 2: Go to explorer and navigate to the following location
Windows XP: C:Documents and settings/*username*/Local Settings/Temp
Windows Vista/Windows 7: C:/Users/*username*/Appdata/Local/Temp
Â
Step 3: In the temp folder look for file which is named "fla*some_number*.tmp, for example "fla128.tmp"
