Do you want to know how to save YouTube video in your desktop or laptop computer? I was surprised to find out that about 70%-80% of YouTube viewers do not know how to save YouTube video in their computers. It is therefore my hope that this blog post would help spread awareness and provide some help and assistance to those people looking for a quick solution on how to save a YouTube video.

or the URL Address Bar (above the EMBED bar) found at the right side of the video, inside the "Subscribe" box.
5. After a few seconds, you will be given three "FLV Format" files (high, low or standard quality) for you to download. Click and save your chosen file into your computer. Note that you can not play this file yet because it is in the FLV FORMAT. It requires a special video player for you to view/watch your YouTube video.
