to download videos from youtube, you can also go there:
http://www.youtubex.com

You just have to tape the adress (or copy/paste it) of the video, and then click on download to save it on flash video file on your computer.

There's just one thing: when you tape the name you want your video saved under, be sure to add .flv at the end, because this website don't add the extension automatically at the saved file.
