I have noticed some setback with some url not allows to download. Then I have found an interesting tip that we could over come such issues without download a clip just play the video once and then you can save as a FLV video format.

Step3:
Click single folder there you will get folder “Cache”. click on it. You will find a lots of unknown type files in this folder.

Step 4:

You can view the time stamp of your view and the see the size of the file .You could identify the youtube video with the memory size and the time stamp.(there might be so many small files also available at the cache).

Step5:

Copy that file and paste in the video folder and rename the file with the extension .flv.

Step6:

Play the video with FLV player.If you are with Vista’s latest codec’s package you need not worry for having to install a separate FLV player.
