Very simple way to save youtube videos

A few months back, a post was made about an 'easy' way to download youtube videos. But since then easier methods have been found. And here is one of them.

But you need to have the Mozilla Firefox browser, which can be downloaded from :
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

And once you install your browser, you just need to install an add-on or plug-in called the Video download helper, which should be available here :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006

Just install it, and restart Firefox. You are ready to save your youtube videos in the .flv format.
Goto the youtube page which contains the video that you need. And you can see an icon on the right side of the address bar. This icon gets animated when there is downloadable media in any page. so once you are in the page, the video gets animated. And when you click on it, a list comes up and just click the
videofilename.flv
and the video gets downloaded in the .flv format, which can be played in the kmplayer, which should be available here :

And you can enjoy your favorite videos anytime, saving all the extra data transfers dat you waste everytime you wanna see it. And its always better to save the video first onto you HDD nd watch it before watching it on the browser. Saves you data transfer.
